Registration is for all 4 sessions. This 4 part series where the classes are
progressive in nature, attendance to each session is imperative.
The series on self defense will include discussion, role playing and hands on
work. We will begin by breaking down realms and aspects of safety,
increasing situational awareness, establishing boundaries, threat recognition
and practicing self advocacy. Participants will move through the processes of
escalation and de-escalation, delving into both internal and external conflict
response, effective communication strategies, decision making and physical
action. As class goes on, our role play and hands on work increases.
*Trigger Warning: the content of this class can be harsh in nature.
*Note: during classes there will be time dedicated to defensive tactics. A
significant amount of critical learning will occur each class that will not
necessitate bodily contact.
