Here’s the deal: We know you’re sick and tired of the way that social media makes you feel. We also know that you might be beginning to realize that your compulsive engagement is starting to affect a whole bunch of other areas in your life and well-being.
Listen: we get it. We know exactly how that feels because we’ve been there. Together, in fact, as “content creator” and “social media manager” in partnership for over two years.
But luckily, we don’t live there anymore. Barely ever even visit, in fact. All while enjoying our personal and professional engagement online more than ever before. 🎉
If you’re desiring to become more sovereign and empowered to stand in your values and engage with embodied presence in virtual environments, we’ve got just the thing:
A brand new workshop on how to develop + practice somatic LITERACY + media literacy as AN embodiment of your values online. ✨
Over the past few years, so many of us have come to see how critical it is to interact with clarity, self-trust and compassion in order to connect more effectively online. This workshop will help you develop the inner guidance system (rooted in your own values) that can successfully enable you to become fully self-expressed in online conversations, communities, and work while choosing to cultivate and contribute to an atmosphere of respect and collaboration.
In other words: we’re gonna give you the antidote to cancel culture and self-censorship at the same time. Seriously. You’ll learn how to take more self-responsibility for how (and how often) you show up while simultaneously learning the skills to engage with content more responsibility and other people more compassionately.
Why?
Because when we learn how to develop + practice somatic literacy and media literacy online, we learn how to be present and discerning with how we engage, what we share, and where we when we feel activated. We are more apt to think and take action with greater purpose and integrity, embracing the value of embodied learning, healthy dialogue and non-violent communication.
After years of showing up to our own personal and professional engagement feeling activated, exhausted, and out of control, we researched and practiced and played our way into a new practice, and we can teach you how to do it, too. So if you, too, know that the “old way” isn’t working, but don’t even really know what the “new way” could possibly be: we made this workshop for you!
☑️ In the first portion of this in-depth 4 hour workshop, we (your hosts!) will share our personal stories, tell the truth about what’s happened in the development of the tech + what’s continually happening to your brain and body when engaging the standard way, and offer new frameworks for online engagement — providing tools + tangible resources which can help you become more sovereign in your consciousness and compassionate in your engagement, recapturing your own humanity and focus while participating online.
☑️ In the second section, we (everyone!) will all practice some hands-on activities + embodiment practices together to heighten our somatic literacy while engaging in online content in real time. As they say: practice can’t make perfect, but practice makes permanent. From tuning in to your bodily responses, recognizing your blindspots and forming clear, concise communication, to refining your media-mediated storytelling skills, this workshop will guide you on the journey towards becoming an embodied communicator + consumer with empowered presence both on & offline.
