Outlier of Outliers Authentic Heart Space

Endorced By

A Trauma-Informed Mutual Support Group
for Deep Connection and Relational Healing
Outlier of Outliers: Authentic Heart Space is a small-group experience designed for those seeking genuine connection, mutual support, and space to be fully seen in their authentic, imperfect wholeness. Facilitated by Brittany Brdecka, this offering provides a trauma-informed, nonhierarchical container grounded in mutual aid and relational healing.
Participants will be introduced to relational tools that support deeper connection and emotional attunement—both within and between.
