Instead of defining giftedness, this 10-session workshop poses questions in a small-group setting about lived experience. Participants follow a guided journey through the concept of whole-person giftedness while delving into the neurobiology of intelligence and the (difficult) history of IQ testing. Participants find a place to explore gifted stereotypes, needs, social constructs of intelligence, and more.

Hyperneuroplasticity (HNP) @ Nerdstock
The HNP construct serves as a framework to group various neurodivergent-oriented profiles such as autism, ADHD, gifted or twice-exceptional individuals, and those with complex trauma. Rather than focusing on pathologies or deficits, the model explores how these nervous systems operate from a baseline orientation built for transformation, requiring balance to avoid sensory or emotional burnout
