We will reflect on the past month or learn a new style of journaling for self-inquiry. ​We will open with introductions and some somatic work. Then, Cory will facilitate the group to deep reflection. We'll take a break at 3:00 to mingle and self-care, returning at 3:15 for round 2. ​You can expect: ​-extremely supportive fellow workshoppers (see workshopper reviews at https://mindfuladulting.substack.com/p/workshop-schedule) ​-journaling with suggested prompts. ​-sharing some of your thoughts with fellow workshoppers (within your comfort zone). ​This event is for queers and allies. ​Bring your journal and dayplanner. Cory will provide colourful pens and paper. ​LOCATION ​1923 Fernwood Rd at the Little Gladstone Studio ​The Little Gladstone Studio is on the 2nd floor around the back of the building.

A few, including -​​You can grow from wherever you are now. -We can’t talk our way into empowerment: we need practice. -​​Navigating inner/interpersonal stress and conflict without panicking is an emotional intelligence skill that grows best in low-stakes settings like this. -​​We need to build resilience communally, not just individually. ​Any questions or concerns - get in touch with Cory corylobbezoo @ gmail.com
