Come experience a RAW Power workshop, taught by self-defense expert and Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame member, Meredith Gold. In this 3-hour workshop you’ll learn and practice verbal boundary setting and de-escalation skills to help you avoid an assault, as well as simple and effective physical self-defense techniques in case you have no choice but to fight.

As a former assistant editor, Meredith knows all too well how common it is for people in post-production to find themselves in sketchy areas at all hours of the night and this training addresses this reality in a fun and intense way. 

You will be able to practice these assertive communication skills in a safe and controlled environment while feeling some of the anxiety and adrenaline that accompanies an uncomfortable situation. Training in realistic scenarios provides a unique opportunity to truly prepare yourself to deal with everything from an uncomfortable conversation to a potentially dangerous encounter with an assailant.

Invitation is for member and a guest. Food and refreshments will be served.

Parking located at rear of the Editors Guild Building.
