Inner Critic to Inner Ally: A Creative & Somatic Workshop
A half-day workshop to understand your inner critic, shift your relationship with it, and come home to yourself.
That voice in your head, the self-criticism, the self-doubt, the negative self-talk that says shrink, be more, be less, don't mess this up, work harder, stay quiet, prove yourself, didn't come from nowhere. It speaks with such authority that it's easy to mistake it for the truth. But that voice, however convincing, is not the entirety of who you are.
Most people try to silence their inner critic by pushing it down or arguing back, but it always comes back.
This workshop takes a different approach; think of it as couples counselling for you and your inner critic. You'll explore where that voice came from, what it's really trying to say, and how to build a relationship with it that doesn't cost you so much.
What to expect
In this workshop, you'll move through creative, reflective, and somatic practices, including drawing, journaling, and group sharing, in a small, intentional space. These integrative practices aim to ensure the workshop is embodied, mind, body and soul. Whether you are new to healing work or already on your journey, you are welcome.
