SUMMARY:Heart of SoulCollage
DESCRIPTION:An ongoing small group dedicated to a deeper self-inquiry based on the SoulCollage process\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoulCollage® is a powerful creative process that gently enables you to hear the deep wisdom of your own inner-knowing through the practice of collage art. This soul-tending practice honors one’s personal journey\, while promoting personal growth and self-discovery. To deepen our understanding of and break open the meaning of our SoulCollage cards\, each session will begin with an short introduction of the theme followed by guided meditation and setting our intention\, before transitioning to card-making. Our day will conclude with witness journaling and a brief sharing of our images\, if desired. \n\n\n\nWorking silently within the group energy\, we honor our own inner voice\, allowing our unique creative process to lead us on our unique path. Our gathering offers a safe and supportive space for exploration and discovery in an intimate and ongoing group setting. \n\n\n\nThis small group does not include teachings in the SoulCollage Process but offers space for exploration. All are welcome – experience in SoulCollage not required! \n\n\n\n$25/session\, includes access to basic SoulCollage supplies and a program guide for the series to facilitate creative exploration on your own between sessions. Bring additional magazines and personal images.

SUMMARY:Selfcare for Personal (Family) Caregivers- Online
DESCRIPTION:Reconnecting with the Caregiver Song in Your Heart\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event\n\n\n\n\n\nSome days there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. \n\n\n\n– Emory Austin \n\n\n\n\nCare-giving for loved ones begins with a song in the heart composed of love\, compassion and purpose. A song that overtime we can find harder and harder to sing as the everyday realities of care-giving lead us into compassion fatigue\, a form of care-giver burnout manifesting in deep physical\, emotional and spiritual exhaustion. Those who have experienced compassion fatigue often describe it as being sucked into a vortex that slowly pulls them down\, eroding empathy\, compassion and positive connection for and to others – and one’s best self. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will explore: attitudes of over-care; how to identify personal barriers to self-care; the causes\, signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue; the importance of balancing pleasure and meaning; how to develop a self-care action plan; and easy-to-learn and do renewing practices that can help increase your confidence and ability to take positive\, effective action during times of pressure\, challenge and change. Instructor presentation\, conversation\, writing and reflection are all part of this workshop experience. \n\n\n\nOnline Registration Required by Monday February 17\, space is limited \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Presenter \n\n\n\nElizabeth Lewis is a certified grief support specialist\, grief educator\, trauma sensitive HeartMath provider\, stress resilience trainer\, spiritual counselor and motivational speaker. She is trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction\, a modality that includes therapeutic yoga. Elizabeth travels extensively in the United States and Italy presenting talks and workshops on a wide variety of subjects including trauma healing\, resilience-building\, forgiveness facilitation\, and healing art and writing. She is a blog writer for the grief support site\, rememberingalife.com and a wellness provider with Heal.me.
