Embracing Confidence In Public Speaking

Self-research and Growth: Join us on a journey of self-research and personal growth through our interactive sessions. We blend artistic and embodied practices, experience based learning to build your confidence from the inside out. We understand that public speaking fears are universal and quite unique, and we respect your place and pace.

Our workshop is thoughtfully designed with two intimate day sessions, spaced a month apart.
 

Session 1: Getting to know Anxiety: Let’s explore together the fascinating world of neuro-psychophysiology and how it relates to anxiety in public speaking. We balance theory with artistic and embodied practices, offering you a profound understanding of what's happening in your embodied mind. Engaging discussions and practical exercises lay the foundation for transforming our relationship with our subject of study: Anxiety.

Session 2: Practice creates art: In this session, we will reconnect and you'll have a supportive space to practice public presence and speaking. We equip you with valuable tools, techniques, and personalized feedback to support you in your growth process and gently cha(lle)nge yourself.

The Result: By the end of our workshop, you'll emerge with a deeper sense of embodied self-awareness, practical and theoretical knowledge to build up a refreshed relation to your system.

Don't let fear hold you back – join us on this embracing journey and discover through this multidisciplinary approach a new way to make public speaking an art process. Limited places available. Reserve your spot today!
