Unlock Your Emotional Power!

Improvisation games, reflection and conversation
Join Dr Anne Hsu for an hour of playful improvisation, emotional expression and conversation. Through simple, structured improv games and reflection, we'll explore how we relate to our thoughts and feelings, and discover different ways of responding to situations that help us connect more deeply with ourselves and one another.
PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME: To avoid interrupting the session, we can't admit anyone who arrives more than 10 minutes late. Thank you for understanding!
These sessions are designed to cultivate what I call emotional power: our ability to connect with our full range of emotions and respond flexibly to what life brings, in ways that empower ourselves and others.
Each session will explore a particular theme, including:
· Emotional awareness and expression
· The values beneath our emotional reactions
· Inner voices and the parts of ourselves that can get in our way
What to expect
We'll spend 30–40 minutes playing improvisation games, followed by structured reflection and discussion.
No previous improvisation experience is needed. The games are simple and give you a clear structure and something concrete to respond to. The focus isn't on performing well or getting anything “right”. It's an opportunity to play, respond intuitively, express different emotions, and connect with others.
The remaining time will be structured group reflection and discussion about the games, and how the ideas might relate to our own lives. You can participate at your own comfort level, and there's no pressure to share anything you don't want to.
What you'll need: A laptop or desktop is recommended, as we'll be using a simple online card picker for many activities. You can join on a mobile device if needed, but switching between the call and card picker may be less convenient.
