Group Workshops

Creating the Space

We begin with introductions and reflections on how the space is shaped as we come together.

Exploration

Unsurfaced dynamics and unspoken thoughts, feelings emerge through team activities

Guided Reflection

Name whats really happening, understand group dynamics.

Change

Identify what to stop, start, and continue & create momentum for real, lasting transformation.

Group Sessions

Which groups might benefit from these workshops?

+ community groups organising on local issues

+ educational groups exploring social identities

+ work teams who want to work better together

In many spaces where people gather to work, learn, or support others, conversation becomes functional. We exchange information, make decisions, move quickly from one task to the next. Yet beneath these practical exchanges sit quieter stories: ideas about identity, belonging, difference, power, and worth. These stories shape how we listen, how we speak, and how we understand one another, often without being fully seen.

Unhemmed Hearts offers facilitated spaces where groups can pause and explore these threads together. Through dialogic workshops, participants are invited into a slower kind of conversation. Rather than teaching fixed answers, the work centres on shared inquiry, curiosity, and the recognition that meaning is something we create together. Assumptions can be gently unpicked, perspectives widened, and new understandings allowed to emerge.

The aim is not to resolve complexity or smooth over difference, but to create conditions where people can remain in dialogue with it. In these moments of thoughtful conversation, groups often discover new ways of relating, listening, and working alongside one another. Unhemmed Hearts is an invitation to follow the loose threads of experience and see where they might lead


Following the Threads

Power, Identity and Belonging


Through experiential learning and guided reflection, participants explore how power flows within the group and how this influences trust, engagement, and unity. How group dynamics influence trust, engagement, and performance will also be reflected on.

  • Identify and challenge ‘invisible’ power dynamics
  • Foster trust, accountability, and collaboration.
  • Define and embody meaningful values 
  • Explore individual and collective identities

Untangling the knots

Listening and speaking with intention

Participants build awareness and practical strategies to foster trust, support open communication, and create an environment of psychological safety, enabling greater engagement, collaboration and care. Participants explore communication styles, non-verbal cues, and common barriers to effective communication.

  • Learn to identify and adapt to different personality styles.
  • Practice active listening skills
  • Reflect on obstacles to open communication

Holding the threads together

Collaboration and Conflict Resolution

Participants explore obstacles to collaboration and develop skills to collectively manage challenging situations with respect and care. Experiential activities will promote reflection on how individual behaviours, communication, and personal values influence the wider group.

  • Empower your group to manage conflict and tension
  • Learn to overcome challenges, embrace opportunities
  • Cultivate a positive, resilient collective

Tapestry of Voices

Empower members with greater resilience, a healthier mindset and strategies to protect their wellbeing. Groups will feel more connected, supported and confident in navigating challenges together, creating a more supportive and collaborative group culture.

  • Explore strategies and tools for collective wellbeing
  • Develop a shared approach to care and resilience
  • Create a supportive group culture

A unique approach

Personalised, trauma informed participatory workshops aimed at exploring themes such as power, identity,gender and belonging and how we relate to these individually and collectively.

  • Non-pathologising perspective of the human condition
  • Shared meaning created through collaboration
  • Exploration of individual and collective narratives

Best Suited To

The Workshops I offer are best suited to organisations who are interested in reflective dialogue and deeper understanding of personal and social experience. Previous groups have included:

Educational

Educational or social sector groups exploring themes such as gender, inequality, identity, or belonging.

Community

Community organisations interested in reflective group conversations that highlight invisible power dynamics and barriers that emerge whenever groups form.

Work

Workplaces and teams wanting facilitated dialogue around culture, communication, or inclusion

Teamwork isn’t just people working side by side — it’s a commitment to growth. When teams lean into reflection, shared responsibility, and honest connection, they build the foundations of real, sustainable performance.

A different focus

Many therapeutic group workshops focus on fostering inclusion and participation with the underlying aim of promoting productivity and improving performance.

Unhemmed Hearts facilitates spaces which enable reflective exploration of individual and collective experience. Themes that may emerge allow for a deeper understanding of the complex social dynamics that influence us. These may include :

How can difference be embraced?

Why do power hierarchies inevitably emerge?

How do our identities change when in a group?
