Episode 6: The Flow & Feel
This episode and module explores how to design the flow and feel of a workshop. You'll see how I structure my schedule with intentional openings and closings, create rhythm through pacing and transitions, and translate my desired atmosphere into practical setup choices. I’ll cover demonstration timing, balancing structure with creative exploration, and using sensory elements like music, lighting, and materials to shape the experience I want participants to have.
“As a host, you can help your guests think about what they would like to take with them as they go back into the world, given what they have experienced with you.”
- Priya Parker, The Art of Gathering
A quick heads-up: these episodes were recorded with a small beta group. From time to time, you’ll hear references to materials or links they had access to. But don’t worry — this won’t impact your ability to follow along. I’m sharing these episodes to give you a clear insight into the core modules and the teaching style inside the full programme.
