In this workshop, Rev. Katherine Gray Silvan engages her audience in the Art of Self-Care. She has a unique 3D Approach: Diet, Dance, and Dharma, which focuses on our intake (relationships, diet, media), our outward expression (exercise, creativity, communication), and Dharma which is the inner work and our personal spiritual connection to our higher power and our higher purpose. Katherine makes the distinction between being selfish and self-full and teaches students how to assess their perceptions regarding self-care and to set honest boundaries for themselves. This workshop explores healthy living, healthy giving, and healthy believing; helping the audience understand the connection between our thinking and beliefs and how we are feeling and doing in our lives. Katherine will introduce and explore short and simple techniques for creating skills in self-care that help navigate a diverse world. Strategies include mindfulness, breathwork, grounding techniques, and engaging the senses for the purpose of maintaining optimal well-being in body, mind, and spirit. Students will not only spend the session caring for themselves, but they will also walk away with the beginnings of a self-care toolbox that they can utilize and build on throughout their lives. All will be encouraged to embrace a personal commitment to be a force of love in the world, by first loving oneself.
