WORKSHOP 1 - The space you hold is only as grounded as you are

This experiential workshop explores your inner somatic awareness, building strategies that draw on the body’s in built wisdom to empower you to remain grounded in yourself while facilitating and supporting others. This awareness will help prepare you for upcoming events, be less reactive in unpredictable or challenging situations, be more attentive to the groups needs and support your self care after holding space for others.

Facilitated by Shan Kennedy with Mike’s support.  Shan is an Integrative Physiotherapist, Mother, Mentor, Artist, and Reiki Energy Healer who brings together over a decade of experience in neurological rehabilitation, now combined with energy healing and creative somatic mentoring. https://www.shankennedy.com/about

WORKSHOP 2 - Sustainable Facilitation: Caring without Burning Out 

This workshop explores the hidden drivers of burnout in facilitators - including emotional load, cognitive demand, identity patterns, and boundaries - and offers a space to pause, reflect and reset. Through interactive activities and shared discussion, participants will gain insight into their own patterns and leave with practical, sustainable ways to care for themselves while facilitating impactful conversations – including conversations about burnout.
