What this experience is like in depth

Values Clarification Workshop is a spiritual and contemplative practice. It is a facilitated process for surfacing and prioritizing the values you want to live by. It works with the understanding that healing is not only about insight but also about what is felt, witnessed, and released in the body, relationships, and environment. In a session, the facilitator walks the group through card sorts, reflection, and pair conversations. You will sit, sort cards, write, share aloud if you choose. This is offered in a group setting, typically 2 to 4 hours, and this is a touch-free experience. People often choose this when they are carrying Loss of Purpose, Feeling Stuck, Identity Loss, and Life Transition. Over time, this work can become a way of relating to yourself with less fear and more capacity.
