Despite the fact that just over half of the population are introverts, our society tends to favour extroverted ways of being in the world. Consequently, many people end up feeling like something is wrong with them or their personality, because they are quiet, shy, or prefer solitude to parties. This can result in feelings of depression, exclusion, marginalization, and pressure to conform. Once people understand their personalities within the introvert spectrum, they can begin to experience themselves from a place of compassion, acceptance, and celebration of their unique abilities and gifts. Whether you are a seasoned introvert, someone just starting to identify yourself as an introvert, or an extrovert trying to understand an introvert in your life, this session will offer insights to support you on the journey.

- Characteristics and Types of Introverts
