The purpose of this two-part workshop is to unpack definitions of “failure”, assessing their roots and effects, so that individuals may reclaim emotional control and build confidence.
Participants will develop new interpretations of failure as well as establish a practice of self-compassion and self-forgiveness, along with the creating their own basis for a system of emotional and stress release. What we really fear is what failure will do to us

Learning Objectives

1. Excavate the roots of our feelings around failure through gentle guidance and questioning
2. Assess the damage inflicted by our mindset and expose the fallacy of those “failure” definitions
