Culture and Emotions

The idea for this three part workshop series has stemmed from our South Asian Mind podcast series for women who identify themselves from South Asian and/or CALD backgrounds.

Healing power of emotion

This first workshop begins with an interactive look at the roots of our identity peeling away the hidden “isms” of colonialism, patriarchy and gender. Discover the creative healing powers in cultural expressions of emotions (language, arts, storytelling).

Understand Anxiety-Anger-Shame

There are valid differences that exists between eastern culture and western culture around love language, emotional expressions, individuality. This workshop will build on the first one to understand 3 emotions often experienced by women.

Integrating culture and emotions

The final part of the three series workshop will bring together for each participant, their unique way to integrate their pathway to express an emotion they struggle with, embed it safely within their cultural identity, and embrace it with dignity and pride.
