snake Exposure Therapy

During the workshop, we’ll start by addressing common fears and misconceptions about snakes, breaking down the myths that often fuel anxiety. From there, you’ll be introduced to non-threatening, well-handled snakes, beginning with observation before moving on to gentle interaction. 

There’s no pressure—each step is tailored to your comfort level. Whether you choose to simply watch, touch, or fully hold a snake, this experience is all about helping you build confidence on your terms. 

Fear is often rooted in the unknown, and the best way to overcome it is through experience. By engaging with snakes directly, you’ll not only reduce your anxiety but also develop a newfound respect for these fascinating creatures. Many participants leave with a sense of accomplishment, realizing that the fear they once had was more about perception than reality. 

This workshop isn’t just about snakes—it’s about pushing past fear and stepping into personal growth. If you’ve ever wanted to face your fear of snakes but didn’t know where to start, this is your chance. Whether you’re taking this step for yourself or supporting a friend or family member, we’re here to guide you through the process in a welcoming and judgment-free space. 

Come challenge your fears, expand your comfort zone, and discover that snakes aren’t so scary after all!  This event is designed to help participants release old or irrational fears, confront personal challenges, and step into a space of growth and transformation. 

Inspired by the snake’s ability to shed its skin and emerge renewed, we will guide you through a series of activities to cultivate clarity, renewal, and growth.
