Communication with each other is one of—if not the—foundations of connection and long-term relationships. Yet being transparent and honest with the people we care about isn’t always easy.
In this two-hour workshop, we’ll turn inward to discover what it means to communicate as our most authentic selves. Guided by a trauma-informed lens, you’ll explore terms and prompts that help you uncover your needs and challenges while creating a structure that supports clearer, more intentional conversations.
This space is for queer individuals who want to shift how they show up and strengthen the relationships that matter most.
