Upcoming Public Empowerment & Self-Defense Workshops
Below are the Empowerment Self-Defense classes schedule the remainder of 2024. Register for any of these Most workshops take place on Saturdays from 4:30 – 6:30 PM. Workshops for Kids are only 1 hour in duration (4:30-5:30)
Empowerment & self-defense workshops teach physical self-defense skills as well as communication strategies that allow participants to be and feel safer, stronger, and more self-confident in a variety of situations, making it less likely that they will be targeted for violence, and better able to resist violence if they are targeted. Though these workshops make it less likely that someone will be the victim of violence, there is nothing anyone can do, say, think, feel, wear, believe, or any other action that makes it their fault if someone chooses to perpetrate (or attempt to perpetrate) violence against them.
Empowerment & Self-Defense
Saturday, Jan 18th, 2025; 4:30 – 6:30 PM
Open to people of all genders, 18+
This workshop has been scheduled specifically to address safety concerns of folks in the wake of the 2024 election. We focus on participants’ strengths and assets, and work to help participants discover ways they can feel and be safer, stronger, and more self-confident in uncertain times. Practice feeling your power through physical techniques, through setting boundaries, and through de-escalating with confidence to create greater safety in your circles.
In order to offer maximum accessibility, we are offering limited very low-cost registrations for this workshop. We hope that those who can afford to support others will allow us to open more registrations of this type.
