Empowerment and Self Care for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)


In this two-day workshop, we are going to explore some of the challenges and joys of being highly sensitive. In an intimate small-group setting, participants will learn about overstimulation and dealing with the strong feelings that accompany it. On the second day, we will focus on empowerment and self-care for the highly sensitive person. The aim of this weekend workshop is to provide participants with concrete tools and techniques to better deal with the challenges that come from being highly sensitive, but equally provide a safe space for sharing and interacting with each other. There is some flexibility to the program of the weekend depending on the the participants needs and wants.

This workshop is not suitable for people who are currently experiencing an acute psychological crisis. The number of participants for this workshop is very limited and places are given on a first-come-first-served basis.
