The workshop will involve invitations from Poonam for you to engage in embodiment practices, which often will include self-awareness exercises, journaling and self-compassion meditation.
These practices are offered with the intention to increase self-awareness, cultivate self-compassion and reconnect with yourself. Please note that these activities (in the same way as speech/chat) are always optional, and remember to only ever do/ share what is comfortable for you.

4.Cultivating compassion: we all make mistakes and we all suffer. We’re all human, mate!
5.Respecting differences: we respect the diverse opinions of our community. We are one in our shared humanity, but our lived experiences are richly nuanced, dynamic and diverse - especially for PoC and marginalised peeps. We all belong here.
6.Openness: we stay curious, recognise the beauty in vulnerability and embrace opportunities to grow.
7. Wholesome: we take care of ourselves and our community
8. Letting go of fixing: imagine that nobody in the room needs fixing including yourself
