How to Create Meaningful Connections
This is our "Connection 101" workshop. Anyone interested in reviewing how they are doing in their social life; exploring where they would like to go, and discovering ways and tools they could use to guide them in the right direction would benefit from this foundational workshop. With simple exercises, fun games, and conversations with other participants, you will explore the concept of "social health," understand why engaging with others matters more than ever, and learn how to create meaningful connections faster.

Newcomers Circle
Whether you recently moved here or have lived here for years; came from another country, province, or city within British Columbia, you are invited to gather with other newcomers and share your stories—with all the good and the bad—about starting a new life in Victoria. The workshop facilitator has a multicultural background and was once a newcomer too in this country, and lived in three provinces. So, she knows a few things about the topic! In this workshop, we welcome diversity; we celebrate multiculturalism, and we generously offer our experience and tips to help others thrive in their new community. Optional: prepare an anecdote or bring a small item—such as a picture or object—to tell us what it means to you regarding your journey as a newcomer. This is a warm and safe space for everyone, an ideal opportunity to make new connections!

IMPROV to Improve Your Social Skills
Communicating with others is not only about words; it is about physical presence too. In this workshop, we will work on our social skills by doing playful improvisation games. Together, we will explore the concept of spatial awareness and learn how to feel more grounded and present in our interactions. We will dive into interactive scenarios inspired by our daily lives, using our rational minds and our most creative imagination. This experience is intentionally designed for adults who feel more comfortable and engaged when there is a mix of both physical movement and verbal activity. No prior theatre or comedy experience is required. One thing is certain: when we step together into the unpredictable world of improvisation, laughs are guaranteed!
