Weekend Workshop:
Knowing & Yessing
A weekend exploring boundaries and communication, building a strong sense of self and producing a unique wearable art work.
Do you often say yes when you really mean no?
Often feel obligated or resentful?
In every aspect of our lives, from living communally to working to our intimate relationships, we’ve found communication, consent and boundary setting to be essential.
Through reflecting on our own mistakes and mishaps and building new methods of communication, we’ve gained lots of insight and techniques, and have designed this weekend to equip you with new levels of confidence and practical ways to navigate all of your relationships…starting with your relationship with yourself!
This weekend is designed to meet you wherever you are; whether you struggle to say no, want to engage in more honest communication, or you’re just looking to gain more confidence and self assurance.
We will guide you through creative practices and exercises on consent, communication and the all important “no”.
We host no more than 10 people at a time to ensure everyone receives plenty of support and guidance.
No experience needed.

Testimonials
“I had a list as long as my arm of things I needed to achieve, so I was clear with what needed to be done, but at every point I found myself sabotaging and undermining. Hollys’ sessions gave me rock solid techniques and Clare’s produced physical objects to support my process and I’ve used them every day since”
“Working creatively with Clare was always very inspiring. With every project I learned something new whether that be skills, about the materials we were working with or about myself. I always felt very trusted and free with implementing my own ideas while also receiving support whenever needed. I left each time with new motivation to come up with my own projects.”
"The Internal Storytelling workshop was really fun. There was a really good vibe and everyone was happy working on the task, but in their own way. I liked that the instructions on what to do where given in a way that we didn’t feel like we were being told that we had to do anything or that there was any pressure. There was lots of freedom, and we could’ve chosen to do it any way we wanted. There was a big choice of all the different things and materials; all the stuff we could’ve possibly needed or wanted to use, and lots of guidance and help if we weren’t sure about anything. I ended up being very pleased with what I did. I don’t consider myself very good at drawing, or at anything to do with art in any way, but what I ended up with was really good!"
