Workshops

Tillicum workshops provide a place for people with similar sets of interests to come together and create and strengthen friendships while empowering themselves. Tillicum workshops are different from traditional workshops because they come in sets, rather than being individual topics "taught" by some expert to a room full of novices. Tillicum round-robin workshops are a set of get-togethers created when a group of people with multiple common interests and differing expertise come together to share. Some examples of possibilities are provided below:
