Methodology & Session Breakdown
Sessions will be centred around the following topics, adapted appropriately for age group. We are able to tailor the choice of topics for each individual community, dependant on cultural needs, relevance, and comfort level. Please get in touch to discuss further.
Each session will involve elements of somatic, embodied, and mindfulness techniques; journalling; discussion; and“teaching moments” that will then result in physical exercises and tasks that allow the participants to integrate the new information into felt and embodied knowledge. Expressive arts-based approaches to education are known to promote emotional resilience and behavioural change. Some of the exercises might involve movement, vocal work, sensory-based tasks, games, and partner-work:
Embodiment and Our Relationship with our Bodies
Consent and Listening to Ourselves
Sexual and Pleasure Anatomy
Intimacy and Touch
Social Media, Body Image, and Sense of Self
Relationships with our Gender
Embracing Puberty, Menstruation and Our Rhythms
Healthy “Fight,” Resilience and Our Nervous Systems
Self-Trust and Voicing My Needs
Shame and Other Difficult Emotions
Healing Bullying Culture through Sistering
Somatic & Movement Practices to develop interoceptive awareness
Mindfulness Techniques to develop self-knowledge & resilience
Journaling to practice self-reflection and self-compassion
Partner Work to develop consent negotiation & collaboration skills
Group Discussions to address real-life issues & self-care strategies
All exercises will be offered in a safe and non-judgemental environment where participation is always optional and adapted for different anatomies, needs, and comfort levels, with sensitivity towards diversity and inclusivity.
