Regardless of how well our children are doing, for some reason many of us feel a little regret, longing and guilt at times, when we think about our parenting journey. And if our children happen to be going through a difficult time, we really suffer.

This workshop is a treat for mothers. It will be fun. It will be reflective. and you will learn how to take a 'mindful self-compassion break' - a way to bring care and kindness to yourself and your parenting.

“Self-Compassion Break” is a key mindfulness practice that helps to change the brain from being so self-critical. “Mindful Self-Compassion is strongly associated with fewer negative states like depression, anxiety, stress, shame, and negative body image AND more positive states like happiness, life satisfaction and optimism.”

Regardless of what stage of parenting you are at (beginning, middle or way past), this workshop will feel like a salve to your soul. You deserve it.

All proceeds from this event will go to supporting:

HIPPY ABORIGINAL NANAIMO  a program that works with families in the home to support parents, primarily mothers, in their critical role as their child’s first and most important teacher.
