What it's about
It's exhausting to pretend to be mature all the time. To be so serious, to stay nice. To take all the parts of ourselves we're embarrassed of and try to restrain them -- the irritation when someone interrupts you, the controlling part that wants everything your way, the jealous gremlin that hates everyone else's success.
But what could it be like, if instead of suppressing these parts of us, and hiding them, we could look at them clearly, and laugh at ourselves?!
This workshop, taught by Rosemary River, is about how to take ourselves a little less seriously, and hold our pettiness with a little less shame.
You'll practice performing your petty reactions, exaggerating your “bad” traits, and delight in the silliness of gripping so hard to how life 'should' be.
Because when you can laugh at yourself -- really laugh -- you can finally stop being run by shame.
And you…
