Research has proven that self-compassion serves as a buffer not only to depression and anxiety, but also to dissatisfaction and stress during difficult transitions, by helping to decrease brooding and ruminating thoughts.
It’s also been shown that self-compassion is intrinsically motivating, and self-kindness and mindfulness, important aspects of mindful self-compassion, promote proactivity and empowered action. There’s growing evidence to support the effects of self compassion on body image, eat disorders, pain, trauma, interpersonal concerns, and overall well-being, satisfaction, happiness and kindness.
This workshop leverages this evidence along with a disciplined practice toward self care; sharing skills and tools to bring all this goodness more into your daily life!
This experience includes:
>Sound healing for deep soothing + energizing
>Education on the psychology, motivation and impact of self-compassion and self-discipline
>Art supplies and guidance for expressive arts + play
>Space in community infused with loving intention
>Light + nourishing refreshments
