You know that feeling, the quiet nudge toward a decision your logical brain keeps arguing with? That's not your imagination. That's your intuition, and it's been trying to get your attention for a while now. Most of us have spent years talking ourselves out of what we already know. We poll our friends, make pros and cons lists, and still lie awake at 2am knowing exactly what we want to do. This workshop is an invitation to stop overriding yourself. In this experiential session, you'll explore how intuition lives in your body and your energy field — through your senses, your chakras, and the four Claires (clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance). You'll learn how to tell the difference between fear and genuine knowing, how grounding supports your inner signal, and how to start trusting the voice that's been quietly right all along. Yes, we go there. Open minds encouraged. Skeptics welcome too.
