When individuals learn how to care for themselves, they can be more present for the ones they need to care for and how they approach the act of caring. This workshop will consider the intersection of mindfulness and self-care. Participants will be guided in recognizing barriers to self-care, identifying appropriate self-care resources, strategies, and mindfulness practices within a healthy framework.
Participants will engage in an experiential component that will incorporate various mediums to support self-reflection, to increase personal awareness of self-care and mindfulness practices.
Please dress comfortably and bring a *yoga mat or towel as we will be exploring some restorative yoga postures and meditation.
* The movement portion can be done in a chair or the floor.
