COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS.
We run community workshops introducing young people to the Breaking Beliefs methodology. Our Breaking Beliefs signature course is currently delivered as an 8 x 3 hour module workshop. All the content is practical, making use of experiential learning and thus embedding the core concepts into young people’s real life experiences. When people share their stories everyone can relate. Shared stories are powerful with the potential to touch and shift others, since most painful and limiting beliefs are collective. Taking the tools, applying them at home and coming back to share their experiences enables young people on the course to embody the work in their daily lives. They become perceptibly more mindful, reflective and emotionally intelligent as they work through the course. These workshops create real change in the lives of participants.
​
The workshops are suitable for community groups, cohorts of young people engaged in development programmes, young employee teams and high school learners.
What our young participants have to say about Breaking Beliefs
I come to the workshops because it’s literally the only safe space that I have access to. At these workshops I can be open about what’s going on in my life without worrying about being judged. I always leave the workshops knowing that I am not alone in this world, there are other people out there who care and who also go through the same challenges that I go through.

The Breaking Beliefs workshops have given me social skills that I use to deal with my day to day challenges. The workshops have put me on a journey of self-discovery, I have become more comfortable with who I am and I no longer feel the need to prove myself or justify who I am to others. Through all of this my self-confidence has grown. The workshops are for my personal development.

It's important because every session you learn and unlearn a lot of things, positive or negative. It has given me a chance to breathe again, to be me in exchange for nothing. Also it has given me a chance to know I don't need to be a superhero whether the problem is internal or external. I cannot encourage someone to attend if they feel like they don't need it, what I can do is tell someone who needs this workshop that it's a chance to walk into a space where you can unmask and breathe and heal.
