Give what you can, if you can. You are welcome regardless.

Who are you, really — beneath the labels, roles, and expectations?
“Self-knowledge is the foundation of an authentic life.”

In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to lose touch with who we truly are. We adopt labels, roles, and identities handed to us by society—our job titles, responsibilities, and expectations—often without stopping to ask whether they actually reflect our inner truth.

The cultivation of self-knowledge is not a one-time realization, but a lifelong practice—and it is the foundation of living an aligned, authentic, and fulfilling life.

This Self-Knowledge Workshop is an intentional, structured space designed to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a grounded, practical way. You will also be able to enjoy the presence and perspective of others.

WHAT THIS WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE:

A visual and verbal presentation on the importance of self-knowledge and how it is cultivated in real life.

An intentional, hands-on group activity that aligns with the workshop’s teachings.

A guided group discussion, where each participant will have the opportunity to reflect, share insights, and gain perspective through a single, focused reflection question.

A special take-home memento, designed to help you remember and apply the insights from the workshop in your everyday life.

NOTE
Everyone’s path to self-knowledge is different. This is a lifelong process that unfolds through experience, reflection, honesty, and courage.
While no specific outcome or transformation can be guaranteed, the intention of this workshop is to foster meaningful community, offer clarity and perspective, and provide tools and insight that may help you know yourself more deeply and live more intentionally.
What you do with what you discover is always up to you.

DISCLAIMER:
I am not a therapist or licensed professional of any kind. I’m a human being, just like you, seeking to build community and make human-to-human level support more accessible for all. While I have personal experience participating in and facilitating similar groups, I do not have any clinical training or professional credentials.
This is a peer-led group and is not a substitute for professional therapy, counseling, diagnosis, or crisis intervention. I fully encourage anyone who feels the need to seek help from a licensed professional.
No one in this group—including myself—is responsible for your well-being. If asked, I can share a simple list of local or online professional resources. This list is offered as a courtesy, based on basic public research. I do not personally endorse or vet any specific provider, and it is your responsibility to evaluate whether a resource is right for you.
By joining this group, you acknowledge that participation is voluntary, peer-based, and not a form of professional care. We’re here to support each other in community—but ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own journey. The hope is that no one has to walk that path alone.
