This year we are offering five workshops in total: three standard weekend workshops, and two longer workshops over four days in June and September. The March, June, August and November workshops are suitable for women attending for the first time, and also those who have attended previously.

This year in response to requests from counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists we are offering a 32 hour 4 day Freedom to Fly Intensive Group for Women in the Health Professions impacted by sexual trauma in September. This represents a valuable opportunity for practitioners to engage in their own therapeutic work. Download our flyer for this workshop here.

Cost:

To secure your place in a workshop you will need to pay $100 deposit for each group you want to attend.

The cost of each standard 16 hour weekend workshop is $650 incl gst. Longer 32 hour workshops held over 4 days are $1115 including gst. The fee is payable in full one week before the workshop begins.

ACC funding is available for participants attending these groups with an ‘accepted claim’.  If you are an ACC client, please discuss this with your therapist and ask them to contact us. Alternatively, you can contact us directly to discuss this.

Cancellations:

There are always times when things happen and people have to cancel unexpectedly. However it makes it difficult for us to plan if people enrol and then cancel close to the time of the workshop. Please avoid last minute cancellations if you can.

We charge a cancellation fee ($60) to cover our administration time if you enrol, and then cancel within one week of the workshop. There is no charge for cancellations more than one week out from the beginning of a workshop, but we would appreciate you letting us know as soon as you can. Often there are women waiting for a place, and if you can’t come, someone else might be able to benefit.
