Awfully Hilarious: Smashing Stigma With Story | Heather Hendrie

Smashing Stigma With Story: The Awfully Hilarious WorkshopShame thrives in silence. Storytelling breaks it open.

Inspired by the award-winning Awfully Hilarious anthology series, this engaging workshop invites participants to explore how humour, vulnerability, and lived experience can challenge stigma around sexuality, menstruation, desire, and identity.

Through thoughtfully guided writing prompts, small-group dialogue, and gentle interactive exercises, we create a brave and compassionate space where untold stories can surface — and where connection replaces isolation.

Participants leave with practical storytelling tools and renewed confidence in their own voice.

What to bring:

• Journal and pen
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Water bottle
