What to bring to our workshops
Apart from anything specifically mentioned in the workshop description:-
A map of where the workshop is being held if you are not familar with where you are going.
Broni’s phone number 027 276 6462 so you can call or text her if you get lost.
Water or any other fluids you may need.
Food. If in doubt as to whether we are supplying snacks/lunch etc please bring muesli bars, fruit and/or whatever else you would like to snack on. For the comfort of others we’d suggest steering clear of smelly food like tuna and eggs.
Towel. If it includes a practical.
Equipment: If it is a swiss ball, gymstick etc workshop please advise us if you can bring your own.
What to expect
Workshops are often full on i.e. they can move fast, be content rich and be physically and mentally tiring. A big night beforehand is not the best prep for getting the most out of these sessions. If you are not feeling quite up to speed be sure to steer clear of the physical aspects especially if they involve partner work.
We can’t always control the temperature, air flow etc. Please bring clothing to suit all possibilities.
We do not always supply traditional seating i.e. for some sessions we sit on the floor, swiss balls, steps etc.
Etiquette
Cellphones: Please turn on to silent.
Late arrivals: We don’t mind if you arrive late but please sign in. If a practical session has started for safety reasons please do not join in or interrupt the presenter or the other attendees until there is formal break.
Leaving early: No worries if you have to leave early but please complete a feedback form before you leave.
