About the Event
How are you showing up for yourself in daily life? Does everyday life feel a bit hard at times? Are you experiencing a loss or transition of any kind? Do you support yourself like a loving friend would whether in everyday or challenging circumstances?
Come to a safe, quiet space to kindly tend to yourself. The workshop will begin and end with circle-time, providing you with an opportunity to share within the group. To help us begin to listen compassionately to ourselves, we will use gentle movement and step into process-based art activities. With a hush around you, and no need to tend to others, see what unfolds... No matter what may show up, there will be support for you to express what may be ready to come forward.
Benefits you can expect:
- "Self-compassion has been associated with a range of positive psychological strengths including optimism, curiosity, initiative, and emotional intelligence (Heffernan et al, 2010)."
- Studies have shown that the practice of mindful self-compassion significantly increases self-compassion, compassion for others, mindfulness, happiness and life satisfaction, as well as decreasing depression, anxiety and stress (https://self-compassion.org).
