Boundaries That Connect – A Workshop with Michael McDonald
Many perceive boundaries and consent as rigid barriers that prioritize safety over connection. However, true boundaries foster deeper relationships, allowing individuals to engage authentically, safely, and with intention.
Led by Michael McDonald, this immersive workshop explores how boundaries are not just about saying “no” but also about embracing “yes” and the nuanced dance in between. Participants will gain insights into creating clear, empowering, and relationally enriching boundaries, enhancing both personal and professional connections.
What You’ll Experience:
🌀 Understanding the nature of edges, boundaries, and personal limits
🔍 Attuning to safety, desire, and self-awareness
🤝 Exploring consent as a dynamic and evolving process
💡 Gaining clarity around mixed messages and authentic communication
❤️ Aligning personal boundaries with genuine connection and intimacy
This interactive session incorporates somatic (body-based) practices and relational exercises, providing a space for deep personal exploration and meaningful connection.
