This online workshop will guide you through a journey of bias exploration while showing you how to recognise a client’s responses when body shame is triggered.
The workshop will invite you to reflect on what steps we can take to create a space which is welcoming and understanding of our client’s experiences of their body in the outdoors.
This workshop will allow you to better support and work more confidently with certain marginalised groups such as trans clients, clients with physical disabilities, clients in larger bodies, and older clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the workshop be recorded?
No, this event won’t be recorded.
I cannot attend anymore, can I get a refund?
Refunds are not offered, so please purchase with intention. That said, you can pass your ticket on; in that case, we would need to be informed of the name change at the earliest opportunity. Name changes are possible up to 48 hours before the event starts. Please contact Francesca at counselling.francesca@gmail.com regarding this.
If you offer a slide presentation, would you be able to email a copy of the slides beforehand?
The day before the workshop, you will receive a copy of the slides used during the event. I am inviting you to consider the environment when printing. To limit our impact on the earth, I created the slides in a fillable format.
Will there be any breaks?
There will be a 5-minute break halfway through the workshop. That said, you are welcome to take any breaks you see fit.
What is the maximum number of participants in the workshop?
All workshops are thought of with a small group in mind, so I am limiting the participants to twelve. This will offer an opportunity for every participant to contribute and share if they want to.
