Has it been harder to be kind to yourself in the last few years? When we awaken self-compassion, we connect with our true nature. We remember that we're not alone, and that uncertainty isn’t our fault—it’s at the heart of being human.
If you struggle with self-judgment, you may feel cut off from your innate creativity. Art journaling offers a gentle and meaningful way to re-engage with this part of yourself.
In this nurturing and experiential class, Lea will guide you in:
- Creating a criticism-free zone in your life through art journaling
- Discovering and exploring the fundamentals of self-compassion
- Getting more comfortable with uncertainty as we continue to face it together
- Practicing self-compassion in a playful, creative way
Each class includes meditation, experiential teaching, art journaling, and group discussion. The goal is to bring a spirit of curiosity and self-compassion to the joys and challenges of everyday life.
Art experience is not necessary! These are very simple, accessible creative practices. It's more about the heart than the art!
