Creative Approaches to Self-Care: Mindfulness and Self-Awareness

About Creative Approaches to Self Care:

In order to care effectively for others, we must first learn to care for ourselves. This interdisciplinary series, led collaboratively by 3 creative arts therapists and a poet, is designed to engage students in self-care practices that promote healthy stress management and burnout prevention. Workshops will address topics including how to cope with stress and anxiety, cultivate relaxation techniques, find balance and develop self-compassion.

December 9: Mindfulness and Self-Awareness

Learning about ourselves, how we think and what makes us experience certain emotions, can help us manage better in times of stress and uncertainty. In this class, using both writing and movement, we will teach Mindfulness skills that can be used at a moment’s notice to enhance our self-awareness.

Instructors: Rebekka Dietrich-Hartwell, DMT-BC, LPC and Cindy Savett

Pre-registration is required. A light dinner will be provided at the beginning of each workshop.
