It's a question of what you're developing. The four days where you're learning how to use Bayes in everyday life and install new habits and do goal factoring may not be the time when you want to also train not minding social overload. You can do that any time.

I didn't take the workshop so I don't know the exact curriculum. As far as I understand besides teaching people who do use Bayes the workshop also includes exercises to expand peoples comfort zone.

The idea is to train these skills separately. CoZE training will be hard for introverts, but this doesn't mean they need to be constantly out of their comfort zone during all of the other classes.
