Workshop Flow

Opening

The session begins in a circle where participants get to know each other and the facilitator.

---

Trust Exercises

Participants work in pairs to build connection and trust. Through supportive touch and gentle partner-guiding activities, they explore what it means to be supported. These embodied exercises lay the foundation for deeper self-exploration.

---

Hero Exercises

A guided visualisation helps participants recall a moment of courage. They are then invited to notice the qualities of the inner guide or “hero” figure that helped them act despite fear. Through movement and embodiment, each person steps into this inner character, found its voice, and interacted with others from that empowered place.

Closing

In the final circle, participants reflect on their experience, share insights, and described the qualities of their inner hero.
