Tuesday, Sept 30 & Oct 7. 7-9:30p ET

Why does making mistakes feel so bad? Why does being “wrong” feel like the worst thing in the world? In a society where mistakes and harm result in punishment rather than repair, it makes sense that we’d want to avoid the feeling of being “in trouble.” But what does this avoidance do to our relationships? And what if accountability could feel like something completely different; something more freeing, something that felt like care?

In this 2-part workshop, we’ll look at how defensiveness can show up in ourselves and others and develop skills for working through that defensiveness in service of more authentic, loving, and accountable relationships.

What to expect:

• Independent, small, and full group reflection on how defensiveness shows up for you

• A toolkit for giving and receiving feedback non-defensively

• Opportunities to practice the skills developed

• A take home resource sheet

Tickets for this two-day virtual offering are $120. Sliding scale is available.
