Step into The Forest That Eats Masks 🌲🖤✨ In this trauma-informed workshop by The Purple Phoenix Collective, we’ll gently explore the parts of ourselves that learned to wear masks in order to survive. Through guided meditation, creativity, ritual, discussion, and somatic healing practices, we’ll begin reconnecting to the authentic self beneath the performance, fear, numbness, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and survival roles. Together, we will: 🕯️ Journey through a guided visualization called The Forest That Eats Masks 🐺 Meet a spirit guide who invites us to listen inward for our “True Name” 🎭 Reflect on the masks we’ve worn and why they protected us ✍️ Write a poem about our authentic selves (or create artwork instead) 🌿 Practice grounding rituals for healing and reconnection 🫀 Learn simple somatic tools to help us feel safer and more present in our bodies 💬 Share discussion in a supportive, laid-back, trauma-informed space You do not need to be “healed,” artistic, spiritual, or experienced to participate. You are welcome exactly as you are. Workshop is Sat May 30 @ 7 pm EST ☯️ Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87309458480
