Virtual- Redefining Wellness Four Week - Self-Care Workshop. Two Hour Sessions: OPEN ENROLLMENT
Do you often feel exhausted and alone? Are you stressed and overwhelmed by feelings of dread? Tired of the quick fixes — the latest juice cleanses, diets, and exercise fads— to feel better?
You are not alone. Did you know that the Surgeon General of the United States has declared loneliness a National epidemic? Between the pandemic and tribal politics, in the last few years, there has been a 30-50% drop in socializing and hanging out together.
Feelings of loneliness is higher among BIPOC + LGBTQ individuals, especially teenagers. Single people have higher rates of loneliness than couples.
We will gather to discuss the impact of stress on the body, review book chapters, journal our reflections and learn simple breathe work to identify triggers and manage feelings of anxiety, depression and loneliness.
The book, Real Self-Care, A Transformative Program For Re-Defining Wellness, by Board-certified psychiatrist and New York Times contributor, Dr. Pooja Lakshimin, will be our guide. In this game-changing book, that explains that real-self care is internal, a self reflective process. Its not a thing to do, or to buy.
Its a way to be, and when we practice real self-care, we shift our perspective, relationships, in our work places and even our broken systems.
OPEN ENROLLMENT Proposed 4 Sundays 3:00-PM - 5:00 pm
