Safer Stretch introduces some practical, body based, resource oriented tools to help you navigate challenging situations during Stretch - emotionally, mentally, physically. In individual and group exercises, we use our ability to connect to ourselves and others and develop some fun strategies for moments when we are triggered or slightly overwhelmed. This might support you to enjoy the festival in a more regulated state, in a good contact with yourself and with an elevated capacity to make new connections.
