Upcoming Trainings

Sat, Aug 19, 2017

10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
LOVING OURSELVES FULLY (Mair Alight, Maya Diaz Diaz) (Seattle - address when registered)

A sacred play time, with joy, laughter and companions where we will practice saying “yes” to “no”. NO to believing we are not enough, or too much. YES to self-gratitudes, self-appreciation and self-celebration. Yes to enjoying sacred play, laughter, and welcoming ease. Mayari and Mair have enjoyed immensely collaborating to create a space for deeply listening to each other and bringing our shared sense of fun and play and laughter to our time together, while honoring our self-care. For example: While on a planning call, we realized that we were both feeling peckish and agreed to pause for dinner and then to return to our call after nourishing ourselves. It worked! We returned to the call refreshed and ready to “rock and roll”. :-) We’ve thought of exercises to enhance our sense of connection and ease, self-love…. and for us each to experience being “the boss of me”. Inner children welcome! We’ll have drawing/coloring materials available for those who choose to use them.
