Frequently asked questions

Can I bring a friend?

Yes definitely, plus ones welcome - just make sure they have their own ticket :)

I have anxiety and am worried about coming by myself. Is that okay?

Absolutely. You're not alone in feeling that way—many participants come solo, and we make it a priority to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment from the very first moment. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and community-driven & many leave with new friends!
