_Family Workshops at Antedote

Our family workshops are designed to create a safe, loving, and attuned environment where families can explore their connections and foster deeper understanding. By emphasizing safety and love, we aim to catalyze ongoing repair work within the family system, illuminating the possibilities of what healthy relationships can feel like
