Inner Child workshop

Saturday, 16 August 2025 & Sunday, 17 August 2025

Our behaviors, beliefs, and worldview stem from the cumulative impact of our childhood experiences. Within each of us lies an inner child, quietly shaping our emotions, actions, interactions and reactions. For educators, the awareness of this influence is crucial, as our state of being and actions directly impacts the students and families we guide. This workshop explores how connecting with your inner child fosters greater self-awareness, helping you understand how your experiences shape your daily decisions, interactions and reactions. By acknowledging emotional wounds, cultivating self-love, and embracing authenticity, you'll enhance your ability to guide students and parents with clarity and compassion and to foster emotional maturity. Ideal for educators at both secondary and higher education levels, this workshop empowers you to model emotional resilience and provide authentic guidance. Discover how understanding and acknowledging your inner child can transform your counseling practices, enabling you to nurture not only your own growth but also that of the students and families you support.
