Whole-Person Self-care for the Holidays

Are you tired? Overwhelmed? In need of self-care? But wait. What exactly is self-care? Our society often implies a definition something like, building a frantic, overwhelming life, taking a few minutes out to rejuvenate, and then plugging yourself back in to your frantic, overwhelming life. The emphasis on constant productivity and juggling overwhelming responsibilities makes caring for self a confusing, guilt-provoking activity. Add in all the expectations of the holiday season and the concept of self-care becomes even more allusive. This class will show you a better way. Using practical understanding of the workings of the brain and body and looking at all dimensions of life, you will learn a more realistic and healthy definition of self-care and have the opportunity to create a sustainable, whole-person plan of your own that will improve all areas of your life! We encourage you to invite a friend, family member, or colleague to this class to build in greater accountability & support in your self-care journey.
