What if building safety could also build confidence, joy, and community?

Join us for a 3-week self-defense series designed by women, for women—a space where you'll not only learn powerful, practical tools to protect yourself, but also have fun, laugh, connect, and feel supported.

This trauma-informed, survivor-led series is all about helping you:

• Trust your gut and recognize red flags
• Set clear boundaries with confidence
• De-escalate tense situations
• Use your voice—and your body—to stay safe
• Walk through the world with strength and self-assurance

Whether you’ve never taken a class like this or want to build on what you already know, this space is pressure-free, welcoming, and adaptable to all bodies and experience levels. Please wear clothes and shoes you are comfortable moving around in. This class is open for ages 14+.

Let’s reclaim our power together!
