Virtual Workshop - Friday October 1 and Saturday October 2, 2021

Any change can be difficult, at times disruptive, and change can present opportunities for personal growth. When we connect to our needs both in mind and body we are better prepared to manage anticipation around what is to come. This workshop is focused on being more empowered, confident and resilient in the face of change.
