Workshops and a Safe Space

(published on website 4/25/12)...
We always have such fun at our workshops and last weekend was another good belly laugh. We started out with our usual meet and greet and some apprehension by our students as to how the day would progress. Well, as always happens, we ended up making new friends and our students were relaxed and happy. They went home with a garment they produced themselves and lots of ideas to implement.

I personally love watching our students growth just in the short amount of time they are with us. As we get into the day they realise that they are in a safe space and things that may have bothered them start to surface. By the end of the day, some of the burdens they had have unpacked themselves and I see a lighter, happier person.

Do you have a Safe Space? One where you can unpack your thinking, talk about what’s troubling you, find out where that worry is in your body? When things worry us, we can pick up where we are feeling the worry in our body. Take the time to find out, you will be glad you did. You can do something about it. Oh, I know your next question, “How”?

Let’s start at the beginning. Find a safe space, notice where in your body what troubles you is, and the most important thing is… What do you want to do about it? Work on that for the next few days. Talk to you soon.
