Befriending Change

We believe that women’s friendships have the power to transform communities. At The Matchstick Collective, we host intensive workshops and gatherings for women and femme-identified adults to build skills that elevate friendships. Co-founders Kimberly Polsen, LPC and Jenna Lee Mathews, LCSW have both felt the transformative effects of being in community with women who empower and support each other through direct communication, honesty, and trust. We have learned through experience that powerful friendships help us to grow into the best version of ourselves and women in community, rather than competition, are a force to be reckoned with.

Did you recently go through a major change like a breakup, divorce, move, loss, or birth of a child -- or even a pandemic!? Are you looking for people who get it? Do you want to express your needs to others as you navigate this transition? Do you believe in the power of community among womxn and femme-identified people to smash the patriarchy? 
Our Befriending Change workshop can help! We know that change can be scary and that forming a strong support system can be life-changing. Our training as therapists has helped us bring communication & reciprocity into our friendships and we want to help you do the same. We know this can feel risky to make new friends or ask for help during a stressful time but we trust (from personal experience) that beginning this process will be so worth it. And we've got your back!

About our Befriending workshop series:
As therapists, we know that meaningful friendships don't form overnight but that friendship among womxn can be powerful and life-changing. Still, there are many challenges to forming healthy and supportive relationships; our goal is for all womxn to have the tools they need to form the friendships that they want. Our Befriending workshop series covers topics that enrich and strengthen friendships, empower community among womxn, and challenge systems of oppression. Join us for just one or attend many - we offer 3 packs for $50 (a $75 value!)! See ticket options below and email hello@thematchstickcollective.com with any questions.
