ex·pe·ri·en·tial - adj: involving or based on experience + ap·pe·tiz·er - noun: a small dish taken before the main course equals a tremendous new opportunity at SHIFT Charlotte for all of our participants to enjoy something new and something else local.
New for this Year
What better way to get back into your body so that you can truly immerse yourself in the upcoming workshop than to start with an Experiential Appetizer. Something yummy. Something cool. Something designed to bring your awareness back into all that is you so you can be fully present for your workshop session.
Come have an Experience with Us
At the start of each workshop, you will have an opportunity to meet one of the following teachers as they get you grounded, clear, energized and ready to learn and experience during the workshop. Better than a cup of caffeine and with none of the side effects!
