Class Description
The bootblack stand can be a space buzzing with excitement and energy for a lot of bootblacks. Other times, folks will walk into a stand with heavy emotions or vulnerable stories about themselves or their leather. Have you felt lost in those moments, or terrified that this will happen to you and you’ll freeze? This class will help address those moments, how to hold space, and how to care for yourself during and after those moments.
