WORKSHOPS

​

Sister in the Garden has wide and diverse experience in facilitating and running community workshops. There is something special in hands-on group learning and discussion, after which everyone comes away richer. Whether participants all know each other or have come from all different places and backgrounds, as facilitator, Cat has a personable approach which draws people together and works to build a collective knowledge and skill set within the group for the day. The narrative storytelling approach that she takes makes the learning material easy and fun to follow, and skills that are learned and practised together are always catered appropriately to help all feel thoroughly empowered and leave confident in what they’ve learned.

 

There are currently no public workshops scheduled
