Workshops and Courses

Background pattern

What is this?​

Workshops and courses are part of the Befriend Co-Learning Network, creating opportunities to explore community-building approaches, grow relational skills, and practise building connection together.

Across the year, we offer a mix of short workshops and multi-session courses for people who are curious about community and connection. Each session creates a rich mutual learning environment, learning with our experienced facilitators as well as fellow travellers, and each listing shares more detail to help you sense whether an offering feels right for you.
