About this Event
For those who spend their days witnessing and holding space for others, rest isn't a luxury, it's essential. Permission to PAUSE offers a soothing space where you can step back from that role and reconnect with yourself and fellow practitioners.
Attendees can expect to:
- Begin with a gentle watercolor meditation to settle the nervous system and create a sense of calm.
- Experience the enchanting SoulCollage® method, an expressive arts practice developed by Seena B. Frost, MA, and to be guided through the playful creation of a powerful collage.
- Journal with the directing of curated prompts
- Finish the session with a gentle movement exercise
- Share dinner together
No background in art or writing is necessary or required, just the willingness to try something new! You’ll leave with renewed permission to honor your own needs, and practical tools you can return to again and again.
Register today! Space is limited for attendees, as we’re hosting this with the intention of making it an intimate gathering.
