Setting boundaries can often feel challenging, but what if we viewed them as an act of care and compassion? In this one-hour experiential workshop, we will not only explore how boundaries can support both self-care and healthier relationships, but also equip you with practical tools to implement these learnings in your daily life, fostering a space for connection and love. What to Expect: Learn effective communication techniques for setting boundaries with clarity and kindness. Feel welcomed and comfortable as you engage in reflective art-making. No prior experience is necessary, just bring whatever art supplies you have at hand, even a pen and paper will work. This is a space for everyone to express themselves creatively. Be inspired to discover how boundaries can promote healthier, more supportive relationships. This workshop is a stepping stone towards fostering stronger, more respectful connections in your life. Meet the Speaker: Naomi Yu, MHC-LP, is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a focus on helping clients understand themselves in a broader cultural and systemic context, Naomi equips individuals with concrete skills to create positive, lasting change.
