Make plans now to join us on zoom for
Self-Compassion Retreat
January 22, 2022 with Anne Kertz Kernion
Our retreat day will draw upon recent findings in neuroscience and psychology, illuminating self-care and spiritual practices that nurture gentleness, kindness and patience towards ourselves.
These practices help us manage the many challenges and difficulties we face both individually and collectively. Far from being self-centered or selfish, when we generate deeper care for ourselves, we enhance our relationships and our ability to attend to others.
You’ll also discover that being compassionate towards ourselves aids in reducing stress and inflammation, while slowing aging in our cells and our brains.
Helpful tips and exercises on how to practice Self-Compassion will be included throughout the afternoon. We will also utilize breakout rooms for small group sharing.
The zoom will last 3 hours and begin on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at:
- 1:00 pm Eastern
- 12 noon Central
- 11 am Mountain
- 10 am Pacific
The cost for this event is $30.
