Fostering Self-Compassion and Self-Love

Wed, May 13 | 4:00PM - 5:00PM UTC

In the wake of trauma, including abusive relationships, adverse childhood events, and systemic oppression, our view of self can become shattered leading to low self-esteem and avoidance patterns. This group is for those ready to start moving forward by improving their self-compassion. We will incorporate meditations, questions, and exercises to increase the elements of self-compassion: kindness, mindfulness, and connection (AKA our common humanity).

Understanding parenting challenges

Raising children in today’s world comes with unique stressors—emotional, financial, and mental. Whether it’s discipline, communication, or managing behavioral issues, parenting can stretch anyone’s limits. Peer support offers a compassionate space to share parenting struggles without judgment. Connecting with others fosters emotional relief, encourages shared solutions, and builds confidence through collective wisdom.

Why it helps
