To own oneself you must know yourself.

This workshop is full. Please contact us to be added to the waitlist. 
 

This training is exclusively for Early Care and Learning Practitioners.
 

In this experiential workshop, participants will get to know themselves, their inner critic and have a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, values, needs and how to have them met. 

Self-aware individuals know what is within their control and what isn’t, they know their blind spots, where they have opportunity for growth, and how to create healthy boundaries. They understand their triggers, they are curious about themselves and can honestly see how they are doing emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally and how and where to give more attention. 

They understand how they react to stress, what makes them happy, they are able to listen to their bodies and read their physical cues, they have greater control over their lives. 

Dr. Gabor Mate says, “we may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.” 

Using a variety of tools, activities, self-reflective and somatic (tuning into the body) practices, participants will learn to see themselves objectively with self-kindness and compassion and learn to move through life in greater alignment with their core values and beliefs. We will be building inner strength and kindness (many of us are better at being kind to others, and when we learn to be kind to ourselves our capacity to be kind to all beings grows).

Understanding oneself allows the deepening of courage, tolerance, caring, balance, and patience in our inner world, which is the foundation that allows the strengthening of these values and beliefs to ripple in our external world.
