module one: self-inquiry
We will explore how our emotional states influence our decision-making and behavior as we move through various layers of awareness, starting with awareness of ourselves and then cascading out to others and our surrounding environments.   

module two: mindful movement
We will explore how embodied movement is a critical element of self-care, resilience, and wellbeing, and ways to to implement this practice into our daily lives.  

module three: community inquiry
We will explore the concept of connections and intersections: how we identify ourselves, how this identification impacts how we show up in our lives, how we perceive and are perceived by others, as well as our life experiences within the societal systems and structures that we live in.   

“I came to realize that I am not alone, and we share more similarities that transcend our differences.”

frequently asked questions

  • No. While the workshops do build on each other and we encourage you to attend the full journey, you do not need to attend all of the workshops.

  • You are more than welcome to “mix & match” the workshops. For example, if you would like to attend Workshop 1 of the Explorations Series (English) and join Workshop 2 and 3 of the Explorations Series (French), you can certainly do so. You do not need to cancel your original registration, but can simply register for different Explorations Series, and be registered for both.
