Description:
The energy of self-love is full of paradoxes. Self-love is what makes genuine connection to others possible. Self-love often triggers our self-loathing, shame, hurt, rage, and fear – and this is no accident. True self-love is the antidote to narcissism and self-centeredness.

Blending Tibetan Buddhism, trauma theory, Internal Family Systems therapy; neuroscience, and social justice; this will be a potent weekend of transformative exploration. Expect to gain a deeper understanding of self-love; clarity on your personal roadblocks to self-love; healing centered engagement; quiet periods for practicing self-metta and processing; all in an atmosphere held with humor, radical acceptance, and spaciousness.

Please bring writing materials, and a mala or any string of beads.

Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available.
