Mini Self-Compassion Retreat for Women
We will support each other in extending the circle of compassion to ourselves during this 2 hour retreat. Iyengar yoga instructor, Karla Ingram, will guide us in unfurling our hearts and bodies on the mat in an accessible yoga class. Self-Compassion Meditation teacher and psychologist, Dr. Amy Balentine, will guide us in growing into a thriving life that makes space for ourselves and our deepest intentions. She will offer education, reflective journaling, and meditations that will give us tools to enfold ourselves in our circle of compassion and attend to our needs and desires. We will end the afternoon with deep listening to share our meditation experiences and insights with one another. If you have never meditated in a group setting, you may be surprised at the power of the group to hold space for greater concentration, open heartedness and connectedness. Bring the gift of your presence to yourself and your community by joining us for an afternoon of meditation.
