Kia ora Neighbours!

I am SO excited to announce my next workshop: ✨CONCEPTS FOR COUPLES✨ - launching mid-Feb!

I've found that representations of relationships in our society tend to focus on the initial 'getting together' phase and leave off representing the work, attention and growth that is very much a part of maintaining long term relationships.

...because the story doesn't end at "they lived Happily Ever After"…does it?

That’s why in this workshop we'll be diving into topics covering relationship dynamics, love & attraction - all the juicy, fascinating stuff! So grab your partner or a friend and join me for this brand new online workshop! 😁

Here's what you need to know:

2 dates available:

- Sunday 13th Feb 11am-1pm
events.humanitix.com...

- Saturday 19th Feb 11am-1pm
events.humanitix.com...-02464hpi

Tickets for each date are limited so get in quick!

**Early bird discount available until 10th Feb**
