1. Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is open to anyone 18 and over who wants to better understand their stress responses, build self-compassion, and learn practical nervous system regulation tools. It may especially resonate with millennials who grew up with animated stories and characters and enjoy using creativity and storytelling as a way to reflect and grow.

2. Is this therapy?
No. This is an educational and reflective workshop, not therapy. The goal is to help you understand your stress responses and walk away with tools you can use in everyday life.

3. What will the workshop be like and what will I learn?
This will be a small, interactive workshop limited to 20 participants to keep the experience personal and engaging. Through short teaching moments, guided reflection, and creative activities, you’ll learn how your fight, flight, and freeze responses show up and what to do when they do.
You’ll leave with practical regulation tools, a decorated journal, and prompts to continue building self-compassion. The workshop will not be recorded, so the experience is fully in-person.

4. What’s included with my ticket?
Your ticket includes all workshop materials, light refreshments, and curated goodie bags provided by our sponsor, Friend Like Me.

5. Can I dress up?
Yes. You are encouraged to incorporate elements of your favorite animated character into your outfit, or bring a small symbol that represents a character you resonate with. Participation is optional but meant to make the experience playful and fun.
