What to bring: Just bring yourself in comfy clothes and a water bottle for hydration. We’ll prepare a workshop handout for you and you can take notes, if you want.
Why join? We all suffer from stress and/or anxiety sometimes and a festival can be quite overwhelming from time to time. While we often think we can destress, regulate our feelings and balance our body using only our mind, allow yourself to discover new transformative techniques to feel more calm and grounded.
