Emotions are our power, our intuition, our tools and our guides. Overwhelming at times, they challenge us to see, they challenge us to live. Harness Your Emotions is a teaching space where you learn to welcome your emotions and harness their power!

"Harness Your Emotions" is a skill building, immersive workshop series! Guided by the Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) model of therapy, enlightened by somatic & energetic understandings of healing & inspired by "Decolonsing Therapy- Dr Jennifer Mullan" ideals. Harness Your Emotions is a reflective space where we welcome the emotion into the room & practice acknowledging, accepting & expanding before harnessing the emotion itself. A practical teaching space where we experience, expand and learn. You can expect to welcome the emotion into the room so we can learn to harness it together.

What you will leave with;

• Skills & perspectives to help recognise and welcome the emotion

• Skills & perspectives to help expand and create space for the emotion

• Skills & perspectives to help harness the emotion

• Your intentions for experiencing the emotion moving forward

• (hopefully) a sense of confidence when experiencing the emotion moving forward

What does it mean to harness your emotions? It means utilising the power of each emotion with the understanding they come with a purpose. For example; you may use lethargy to rest, you may use anxiety to see barriers or risks & you may use anger to activate action.

Harness Your Emotions is a monthly workshop: each month we explore a different emotion,  the insights from each emotion frequently informing the rest, as we learn to see emotion as water steadily flowing through our bodies.
