SONA is back again at AWU to teach you how to play this amazing furry card game. Most everyone who's tried this easy to understand game has loved it. Join us during any of the 'Learn to Play' panels this week and be apart of a growing community inside the furry fandom.
Have you ever felt stuck inside your own thoughts—like you want to express yourself more, but something holds you back? Whether it’s fear of judgment, self-doubt, or just not feeling confident enough, that feeling can make it hard to be fully yourself—even in spaces where you want to belong. This panel is a practical, supportive guide to breaking out of that “shell” and building real confidence. We’ll explore why those feelings show up, how they shape your behavior, and how to take small, manageable steps to become more comfortable being yourself. You’ll leave with simple tools to build self-esteem, trust yourself more, and carry that confidence with you—both in fandom spaces and in everyday life.
Set to the song Immortals, featured in the animated movie, Big Hero 6, attendees will learn a choreography that will be performed as part of a flash mob performance in the outdoor terrace later in the weekend! Fursuits welcome but not required! And if you don’t wish to be in the flash mob, but want to learn the choreography, you’re welcome to join for just the class!
If you can't come to this practice, here's a link to watch a video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjTPiDzUzgA
