Improv for Well-Being
Improv comedy is about seeking truth in the moment, not about being funny (though that can be a delightful outcome).
In this playful workshop you’ll explore improv’s core principles to reduce stress, foster joyful connections, and lead with bravery.
Participants will:
Leverage movement to break out of the analytical mind
Create something out of nothing with others
Deepen self-awareness through presencing and reflection exercises
Follow the fear, find the fun.
*caps at 20 people to keep it small & meaningful
