What if anxiety brings us more to life?

The theme for our August workshop, the first in an ongoing monthly series

What if we could use our anxiety, rather than running away from it?

Could we change our relationship to it, and even see it as a source of aliveness, instead of as a barrier to overcome?

What if we can allow anxiety to give us strength or to be more creative?

We (Johnnie and Jordan) have been exploring this idea for a while now - how to hold one’s own anxiety, to hold others in theirs, and create with what’s found there.

We think a great deal of unnecessary hurry is created by our rush to get away from anxiety instead of treating it as a potential source of energy and ideas.

The writers at The School of Life reflect, “[Anxiety] is no sign that that our lives have gone wrong; merely that we are alive. It is mostly a reasonable and sensitive response to the genuine strangeness, terror, uncertainty, and riskiness of existence”.

Maybe we do not need to be anxious about being anxious.

Starting in August, we are going to offer a monthly online workshop, and our first one will explore this theme of anxiety as aliveness.

Each month, we’ll use this gathering to explore ideas and activities and bring the wisdom of Unhurried Design to life.

The workshop will have two consecutive sessions of around 75 minutes on separate days in the same week. The sessions will be hosted by us and highly participatory in nature.

Monday, August 21st, 8am PT, 11am ET, 4pm UK
Wednesday, August 23rd, 8am PT, 11am ET, 4pm UK

The cost to attend per month is 200 USD, which gives you access to both sessions. If you happen to be a student, we are willing to offer a 50% discount.

There will be six spots available in the first month.
