Description

Tools to still the mind, foster greater self-compassion, and access inner wisdom while embracing your authentic self. In today’s world, there is considerable pressure to conform to society’s expectations of how we should look, feel, and be. This often leaves us feeling stressed, confused, or disconnected from the beautiful light within ourselves. In this 6-week workshop, we’ll use a variety of creative and mindful approaches such as artistic expression, meditation, and affirmations to rediscover, embrace and empower our authentic selves. By the end of the workshop series, participants will leave with tools to still the mind, foster greater self-compassion, and access inner wisdom.
