How's your relationship with alcohol going? Do you have a twinge of curiosity about what it might be like to change things up?
Would you like some support in beginning the journey with lightness, maybe a touch of playfulness?
This work-(play?)shop is NOT for you if you're completely content with the role alcohol plays in your life.
If you're at all wondering about shifting things, come explore the possibilities. There is no pressure or judgement!
This is just an hour to gift yourself some space to consider what might be waiting for you on the other side of a shift.
Less alcohol? A break from it? Or deciding not to change a thing. It's all on the table!
Small group; no more than five attendees.
I'll provide the materials to guide our conversation.
You bring along your curiosity, your clear head unaffected by any mind-altering substances, and
your favorite zero-proof cocktail to sip if you'd like.
RSVP below by 2pm Wednesday March 27th.
A past attendee says, “Amanda, your workshop was great.
It helped (me) gain perspective and direction for controlling the level of sobriety I wish to maintain.”
