An Intensive Learning Experience
This workshop is essential, in-depth, and fast-moving—designed to give you key insights in a single day. It’s a lot to take in, but it’s delivered in a way that is engaging, accessible, and packed with value!
🌟 Small Group, High Engagement
Although this is an online event, we keep participant numbers small—the same as our in-person workshops—so that everyone can be actively involved. Spaces are limited to ensure meaningful discussion and engagement.
Choosing the Right Format for You
We know that different schedules and learning styles call for different formats. This event is our four-part series, designed for those who can’t commit to a full day at once or prefer bite-sized learning sessions. It follows the same content as the one-day intensive session but is spread over four consecutive mornings to allow for more reflection and deeper processing between sessions.
