Empowerment Workshops
Our empowerment workshops are designed as spaces where participants can explore personal growth, practice self-compassion, and foster a sense of belonging. Each session is grounded in a model that combines mindful breathing techniques, community agreements, free writing, and the open sharing of experiences. This structured yet flexible approach creates a secure, non-judgmental space marked by kindness and compassion—encouraging participants to connect with themselves and each other authentically.
Workshops are free, ongoing, and virtual. Previous artistic/writing experience is not necessary in this interactive workshop. Saying “no” is always an option.

Format
-
Participant Check-In
-
Breathing/Grounding Exercise
This breathing exercise guides you into the present moment, inviting you to set aside what came before and release any thoughts of what lies ahead, so you can arrive fully in the here and now.
-
Sharing of Community Agreements
A community agreement is a commitment to secure this space as best as we can, fostering a shared sense of safety and trust within each individual by following agreed-upon principles and actions.
-
Free Writing with Prompt(s)
Free writing opens a space for authentic expression, inviting thoughts to flow freely without judgment or editing. While we provide prompts to spark ideas, participants are welcome to use this time however best supports them—whether writing, exploring another creative outlet, or continuing with meditation or grounding.
-
Opportunity to Share
Participants are invited to share their writing and receive feedback, with full permission to decline. Emphasis is placed on active, empathetic listening and “holding space” without internalizing others’ experiences, following our feedback guidelines.
-
Sharing Feedback and Resonations
Participants are invited to share feedback and resonations based on what stood out to them, offering a line or word that resonates without needing to explain why.
-
Reinforcements
To close the workshop, each participant affirms something meaningful they've gained or are committed to in their daily lives.
