Optimize every area of your life ~ dive into a felt sense of your needs & boundaries so that you can discover true embodied consent.

Do you sometimes struggle to ask for what you need?

Or say yes to things you didn't want?

Do you want more clarity about your needs & boundaries?

Join LaMariposa; a Psychotherapist, Embodiment & Consent Facilitator for this transformative 1-day workshop. We will explore some dynamics of consent in an embodied & down-to-earth way. This will be a BIPoC & queer centred space where all ages (18+), genders, races, ethnicities, neurodiversities, social backgrounds, s£xual orientations & relationship styles are welcome.

Are you ready to truly connect with yourself?

To identify & let go of unhelpful patterns?

To have deeper authentic relationships?

To feel & clearly express your needs & boundaries?

To stop putting others’ needs before your own?

& to create the life you desire?

Optimize every area of your life as we dive into a felt sense of needs & boundaries, including some of the shadows, so that you can discover true embodied consent.
