THE W.E.E. WORKSHOP SCOOPHarmed and Dangerous
With Bell Murphy
We all deserve be treated like the queens we are!
But let’s face it, by the time we reach grown-ass womenhood we have lived through some crap!
In this short trauma informed session you will gain confidence in a range of evidence based skills using your mind, body and voice to deal with whatever comes your way; whether its recognising warning signs in a partner's behaviour, standing up to workplace bullies or physically disabling a larger stronger attacker, you've got what it takes to stay safe and empowered.
No experience needed, all abilities and fitness levels welcome.
