The Art of Showing Up Shamelessly

A Workshop for Bold Presence, Creative Courage & Unpolished Magic

Hosted at the beautiful Lupin Lodge in Los Gatos, CA

June 7, 2025 3pm-4:30pm

SPECIAL RATE! Workshop + Day Use at Lupin for $45 $35

(Normally $45 for day use alone—save $10 and get a transformative experience)

Confidently & unapologetically embrace your authentic self.

Whether you're stepping into a spotlight, navigating visibility in your relationships, or just ready to stop hiding parts of yourself, this experience invites you to explore what it means to be fully seen—not because you’re polished or perfect, but because you’re present.

Through playful partner games, embodied exercises, and creative risk-taking, you’ll get to stretch into courage, loosen the grip of your inner critic, and practice being witnessed in a low-stakes, high-support environment.

This is your permission slip to be shameless—unfiltered, unabashed, and fully you.

Come as you are. That’s more than enough.

Evening Bonus:

The Low Expectations Cabaret

7:30pm

Later that night, join us for the Low Expectations Cabaret—a wildly fun, radically inclusive open mic where the spotlight is for everyone.

You are welcome to share songs, poems, stories, jokes, weird talents, awkward dances, heartfelt truths—whatever feels alive and expressive.

The bar is low, the vibe is high, and the only thing required is a willingness to show up.

While workshop participants are encouraged to perform, it’s absolutely not required.

You’re welcome to cheer, support, and enjoy the magic of others shining in their own unpolished brilliance.
