PAST EVENT

Our relationship with our father – whether present or absent, warm or distant, living or dead – shapes us in ways we may still be discovering. This workshop offers a space to explore that relationship with curiosity and honesty.

Please bring an object that represents your relationship with your father. This might be something he gave you, something that reminds you of him, or something that captures the quality of the relationship itself. There is no right or wrong choice – simply bring what calls to you.

This territory carries emotional charge. The workshop will be facilitated to provide containment and support, and you will always have choice about how deeply you engage. We will work at the border of safety and challenge – enough support to take a risk, enough space to make your own discoveries.

Whether your father is living or dead, whether your relationship was close or fractured, whether you knew him well or hardly at all, whether you are a father, want to be father – you are welcome. The father we carry within us is always available.

“Thank-you. Your (astonishing) workshop opened up a pure channel of communication between myself and my father. I have spoken to a few of the other participants who, like me, were deeply affected by the workshop. It has been weeks and I am still thinking about it and THOSE OBJECTS! And what was shared - such insights and pure truths. Thank-you for your stength, openess and compassion. All in all.” workshop participant
