SESSION | Breakout Session Three (Afternoon)
Make Room for Whimsy
Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, most of us were handed a set of invisible rules. Stay in the lines. Be practical. Act your age. And slowly, without realizing it, we packed away the most powerful parts of ourselves including our curiosity, our playfulness, our wild and whimsical imagination.
In this hands-on and interactive session Avril Williams invites women to break those rules. Through a joyful burst of creative and playful activities, participants will connect with each other while rediscovering the uninhibited, imaginative woman who has just been waiting for permission to show up. From a dress-up mirror to a collaborative art installation, to a "recess" corner with the best parts of childhood, every inch of this space is designed to spark delight, invite connection, and remind you that 'whimsy' is not something you outgrow. It is something you reclaim.
Leave with a permission slip you wrote to yourself, a new pen pal, a dare you actually did, and the memory of what it's like to just play freely and unapologetically.
