I warmly invite you to join us for…A Self-Compassion Day for Pandemic Recovery & Renewal
Ivy-Spencer Leadership Centre, Windermere Rd, London, N5X 2T1, ON
April 1, 2023 from 9.30 am – 4 pm
with Helen J Butlin, (RP) PhD
and
Jennifer White, Celtic Harpist and Storyteller
All WelcomeAfter the past 3 years in the pandemic, many of us could use some deeper inner renewal of heart and mind. This day is designed for a group for 15 - 20 to bring renewal, connection, deeper inner anchoring, and some hopefulness from where our heart’s wisdom can be our guide.
On arrival, there will be time for connecting and meeting one another and then we will move into the guided retreat for the day. The morning will include learning the art of two mindful self-compassion practices that I personally find most helpful, followed by a delicious lunch in the Ivy-Spencer Centre’s restaurant. The afternoon will include a guided meditation and a mindful nature walk, The final event will be relaxing and soaking up the magical, soul filling performance by Jennifer White with her Celtic harp sharing her music, songs and storytelling.
If this resonates, please join us.
All are welcome.
Schedule for the day:Morning: Two Practices in cultivating the Art of Self-Compassion
· Self-Compassionate Letter Writing – experience the healing effects of writing to yourself from a voice of compassion and wisdom
· Using “Shared Humanity” in self-compassion practice to maximum effect
I’ll be sharing my personally developed and well-honed methods to deepen the impact of these two elements in Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) practice. I find them to be key in MSC and there’s an art to using them. You’ll have two ‘quick go to’ strategies for buffering from the stress intensified by self-doubt/criticism to protect your well-being on the hard days. You’re welcome to share you’re learning from this day with others in your own life and work.
Lunch – in Ivy-Spencer restaurant (included)Afternoon: Soul-Medicine’s for heart and mind renewal
Mindful nature walk in the grounds using the ‘savouring’ practice in MSC shaping your nervous system’s ability to experience pleasure and joy
A guided Visualization Meditation (try out Helens’ guided meditations)
Performance with Jennifer White, Celtic harpist and storyteller – you can sit back and listen to Jennifer’s beautiful harp and Celtic songs & stories and soak the medicine of her magical music and storyweaving.
