Caring for Self to Care for Others at Harriet Tubman Cultural Center, Harriet Tubman Lane, Columbia, MD, USA – Columbia, MD

So often we give unceasingly to others before caring for ourselves because it feels like the "selfless" thing to do. Other times, when faced with burnout, we choose mindless escape instead of what will truly nurture us.

In this workshop, we will nourish our bodies, minds, hearts, and souls, and discover that true self-care is the most selfless decision we can make. The day starts with a healthy breakfast, followed by time to explore the differences between true self care and mindless escape as well as how true self-care benefits those we love and those we serve in our families, schools, and communities. Following a nourishing lunch, we will engage in various forms of self-care, with options for personal choice: including journaling, meditation, rich conversation, time in nature, and yoga. We will end by creating a plan for making time for more true self care in our lives.
