Desire & Permission- Learning to Want Again

What happens when you ask yourself, “What do I really want?”—and the answer is a blank, a whisper, or something that feels scary to name out loud?In this reflective, supportive workshop, we’ll explore the roots of desire and the reasons so many of us learned to shut our wants down. Together, we’ll gently practice identifying what you long for—big or small—and challenge the inner voices that say your desires are selfish, unrealistic, or unworthy.

You’ll:

• Reflect on the messages you received about desire and wanting

• Notice how wanting and joy are connected, and how both require vulnerability

• Use guided journaling and discussion to name a few true desires—without judgment or pressure to act

• Practice giving yourself permission to want (just for you), and learn how desire can be a powerful compass for growth and aliveness
