Last week we announced workshop #4 in our 4-part series on pandemic wellness led by Amanda Scandrett (Sacred Circle Healing Arts). Our final session will focus on Self Care in Surreal Times. The holiday season is often reason enough for self care, so as we move through these unprecedented conditions into the upcoming holiday season we all might need a bit of additional grounding and centering. Our workshop will focus on features such as:... - What is self care, actually? (We'll go beyond chocolate and bubble baths - you might be surprised!) - Self care & the pandemic: What even "works" anymore? - Tips and resources for creating your own self care plan as you move through the holidays and into 2021 This workshop is part education, part meditation, and part creation. The intention is that you will leave feeling a little bit lighter and a lot more inspired by your own inner potential. More info > https://www.saskmusic.org//18303/self-care-in-surreal-times
