EdFringe is a beauty and a beast – the perfect place to observe and adjust how one deals with visibility. It is easy to get lost, loose the courage and feel tiny at the world's biggest theatre festival. A lot of creatives have ambivalent feelings when it comes to selling their work. When you overcome them you can sell unapologetically and with integrity. SHINE YOUR WORK – EdFringe special provides you with tools to handle the heightened focus on becoming visible. Stepping into an arena of attracting attention, becoming visible and standing out at the world’s biggest festival can trigger many feelings and behavioral patterns. Our aim is to support creatives in understanding themselves, other people and the world in order to navigate consciously on a higher frequency. Are you going to Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a show? Do you want to prepare your mindset, fin-tune your tools to communicate and keep your stories clear, boost your awareness and check in once a week during the Edfringe for support and keeping up the intention on a high vibration? Benefits: You get support from an expert in branding and festivals. You get support from likeminded artists/producers who also wants to unapologetically shine their work. You get a safe space where you can reflect on what’s going on in the big Edinburgh melting pot and turn struggle into healthy competition and collaboration that inspires you.

The workshop made me feel that I am not alone, but most amazing, I find out that some of the things I thought were typical of the precariousness of living in Spain and working in culture were also shared in the rest of the countries.

MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health is important - and something we would like to contribute to. Some times we experience participants becoming emotionally affected by the workshop-process. This is a natural thing as the workshop-process supports the participants in relating to deeper, fundamental convictions and self-narratives. However if the process tear up a deeper life trauma we always recommend participants to team up with a certified psychologist who has the tools to help people through life crises.
