IMPROV FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Many people consider Improv to be very therapeutic - after all, it offers a safe space for listening, reflection, empathy, understanding and unconditional, positive regard for yourself and your partners.

Improv keeps you present, opens you to acceptance, and frees you from harsh judgements, all while helping you express your authentic voice and fostering healthy connections with others.

CONFIDENCE THROUGH PLAY

Improv helps build confidence by the practice of exercises that promote listening, presence, self-awareness, and trust. And it is all done in a non-judgmental, fun, experiential way.

Confidence does not come from being perfect and never making a mistake. It comes from knowing you can handle whatever comes up, including unforeseen issues, conflicts and mistakes.

When you learn to improvise, you’ll learn that there ARE no mistakes. You’ll exercise the muscles that keep you present, engaged, cool-headed and able to keep moving despite bumps in the road.

This class will help you see that the fear of not making mistakes is actually keeping you from being AMAZING.

FROM ‘STUCK’ TO ‘PRODUCTIVE’

Are you feeling a lack of movement or growth in your life? Are the stories you are telling yourself in need of an edit?

These stories can stunt personal growth, cause us to make poor decisions, and drive us to become the worst versions of ourselves.

Improv helps to motivate and guide you toward BEING PRODUCTIVE because it gives you tools and experiences of having more space, ease and clarity. This allows for you to achieve greater output and feeling the results of your work.

With improv, we’ll help you feel the joy of accomplishment, satisfaction, making a difference in whatever you do.
