I occasionally present opportunities for professionals and the public to learn about areas such as neurodiversity, gender and sexuality, mindfulness, ecopsychology and other special interests. All training is based on my practice-based research and person-centred ethos.
A one-evening community-generated, curiosity-led, alternative adult learning workshop for Neurodivergent Individuals, Professionals and Allies
This workshop is an invitation to explore insights and resources for self-nurturing and community-resilience for neurodivergent people. It's a proactive learning community where everyone will have the opportunity to share and exchange life experiences, thoughts and ideas to benefit the group. It is open to all kinds of individuals, including those who practise helping professions, and beyond.
Through a holistic, neuroaffirming, trauma-aware and decolonising lens, we look beyond just “coping” and productivity-driven narratives, focusing instead on social justice, self-leadership and self-respect. Participants will explore ways to create change, nurture nervous-system regulation, and grow supportive communities.
Who it’s for:
Autistic & ADHD people (formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed) or those exploring their autistic and ADHD traits and embodied neurodifferences.
Anyone looking for practical, affirming ways to honour their own and/or others' neurodivergent support needs;
Professionals, friends, family members, educators, and therapists seeking a non-pathologising understanding of autism and ADHD
By the end of the evening, you will:
Expand your awareness, curiosity and insights about neurodivergent wellbeing;
Share mutual support in a warm and respectful group;
Develop language for your experiences and communicate them more confidently
Format:
Evening workshop
Low-stimulation, reflective, and interactive
Inclusive of sensitive, neurodivergent, and gently curious participants
Questions and Answers:
What are the learning elements?
The session is decolonial, relational and person-centred with a focus on liberation. While there will be structure to accommodate learning and share insights, the event will be entirely community-generated. This is not a webinar or a passive learning environment. Many people appreciate this approach, so that you can get out of the workshop what you actually need.
What topics will we cover?
Whatever you bring and whatever you want to know. Some of the topics that we may touch on include how we relate to different aspects of neurodivergence, and our own sense of wellbeing, as well as cultural or indigenous ways of being true to ourselves. No prior knowledge is required, however your contributions will be valued as we are a learning community.
What is the structure?
The workshop includes opportunities for discussion and guided activities, which you can engage with at a level that feels comfortable. While it draws from Western frameworks, I acknowledge the limits of Western science and theory and approach learning with respect for Other ways of knowing and experiencing. This is a humility-based learning and sharing environment rather than a typical “lecture-style” workshop.
Can I bring my friend/partner?
Yes, bring anyone who may benefit from the session, or be willing to support you.
This is a space to explore ways of relating to self and others that are relational, affirming, and grounded in real-life needs — not prescriptive or one-size-fits-all.
Time: 7 pm to 8.30 pm
