A 6 week workshop series, talking through the different aspects of dating, and crafting along the way to end up with a better idea of what you want, more confidence to find it and a sweet zine where all your thoughts can be collected.
Then we have a social at Jam Circus (on Deptford High street) to celebrate all the self reflection & emotional work we've done!
🍊 COURSE INFO 🍊
Over the 6 weeks we will talk about dating, attraction and relationships as a group and build a soft, cosy supportive space for you to practice those aspects of dating that often feel uncomfortable or difficult, such as:
💖 Sharing about yourself
💖 Vulnerability
💖 Accepting a different way of thinking in someone else
💖 Figuring out your attractions and feelings
💖 Communicating about feelings
💖 Decoding how you feel about someone/something without spiraling into overwhelm
Plus the stuff that happens before that like asking people out, building connection and meeting new people
Doing this self exploration through guided conversations with the support of the group, and me, makes the process more pleasant and fun. The crafting element is a nice way to allow self expression through more than just words - though you can use words alone if you're not into that :)
If you can enjoy the journey of dating, not only is that much nicer for you, but it'll make it easier to make thoughtful dating decisions and nurture genuine connections with your partner(s)!
