What is a workshop?

Workshops are one-off events with a defined topic.
Each workshop is facilitated by experienced practitioners.
Most workshops run for 90 minutes.
Most workshops run at least twice, once online and once in-person.

During a workshop, you'll reflect on the causes of a common difficulty and develop practical coping strategies.
