Find your flow: Merging Psych-K and Improv

Overcome fears and dissolve creative blocks while gaining a new appreciation for living life fully in your unique and wonderful body.  Our unique workshops blend the gentle, subconscious transformation of PSYCH-K® with the joy and exploration of improv.  No experience needed!

In this safe and supportive environment, you will experience deep connection with others while reigniting your own spontaneous self-expression. It is a space to laugh, play, and maybe even surprise yourself. One on one PSYCH-K® short sessions are used to gently clear the doubts and barriers that limit your confidence, paving the way for lasting, joyful change.

Improv is a doorway to freedom and PSYCH-K® can help you walk through it. This 3-hour workshop can pave the way for new possibilities in your life.

ZipLine Improv aims to provide a relaxed and supportive environment where participants can stretch and explore safely, and this workshop will take it a step or two further by addressing any personal discomfort that may come up with a private mini PSYCH-K® session with the facilitator, Meaganne. The rest of the time you will be with Laura, learning the basic tenets of what makes improv work and why (hint: it's NOT being the quickest, funniest, cleverest person in the room!).

PSYCH-K® is a healing modality in which psychology meets kinesiology. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that basically helps you get unstuck by balancing your brain. By going through a simple guided process with a facilitator, one can transform subconscious beliefs that are the source of habits, fears, stresses, anxieties and so on.

Why take this workshop? You:

…want to say Yes! to the call of self expression and playfulness

…would like to be as bold and free as certain people you’ve admired

…appreciate a safe place to let ingrained socialized inhibitions go

…enjoy connecting with others beyond social niceties

…want to rediscover your childlike playfulness and spontaneity

…get past self consciousness

…know that trying to new things leads to a fuller life
