Self Compassion Afternoon Retreat
The sound of jingle bells, the smell of freshly baked cookies, the colorful lights and festive decorations…the celebrations that cross all religious and cultural lines….oh what a beautiful time of the year.
So WHY is it so stressful?
Stress may involve trying to do too much, money worries, running out of time to do everything, stress of finding that perfect present, managing family relationships, loneliness, grief and loss and many other factors.
Self-compassion is the antidote to stress. Come and set yourself apart and take time for that beautiful and wonderful YOU.
Enjoy an afternoon of quiet meditation and reflection….Walk the prayer paths with new awareness, rest in the embrace of the labyrinth or sit and listen at the water’s edge. Leave rejuvenated with easy tools to soothe your nervous system and “gift” yourself a compassionate tool kit for this holiday season.
“I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side.”
-Maya Angelou
