Create a valentine for yourself?

How weird is that?   Not if you are struggling with the low self-esteem that can ensue from divorce, illness, aging or any of the myriad of losses we experience in life.    A warm compassion focused meditation and the indulgence of play with bright colors of fabric, papers and other art materials, can be just the self hug one needs.   This is exactly what we did on Sunday with a small, but happy group who created symbols of self love to be taken home, enjoyed and used as  reminders of our most important job: To value and love ourselves.   If you have that it becomes more possible to care for others, make valentines for them or just have the energy to continue loving yourself.

Join us next time for these "Journaling for the Soul" workshops:

February 15 1:30-3:30 "Playing with Color" - explore your own spectrum through Chakra meditation and play with art materials.


March 2 1:30 - 3:30 "Privacy in a World with No Secrets" - exploring how the increasingly interconnected world impinges on our private time and exploring ways to hold onto it.


Special Workshops:

March 29, 10am to 5pm - day long workshop
"The Weave of Life" - Myths and methods of weaving will be explored as natural forms of healing and interconnection.


March 30, 10am to 12 noon - "Moving Beyond STUCK-ness" - A workshop combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Art Therapy for mental health practitioners.
