A little more info…

These classes are designed for anyone who wants to deepen their self-understanding and self-awareness in a supportive, learning environment.

Together, we explore how the mind and body respond to life’s challenges and what supports our systems to regulate, repair, and grow after interpersonal trauma.

Each session combines a gentle educational component with practical tools, interactive activities, reflective processes, and opportunities to share insights with the group.

There is no expectation to speak or participate at a certain level — what matters most is your willingness to explore, learn, and connect with your own inner experience.

These groups are not therapy, but they complement one-on-one counselling or therapy by providing practical knowledge, tools to support personal growth and resilience, shared learning and community support.
