Burned out or fatigued? Many folks turn to acts of self-kindness, like massages or meals out. While they may feel good in the moment, you may need a radical shift to sustain joy, energy, and resilience in your life. Join Amina Naru and Pamela Stokes Eggleston—co-founders of Retreat to Spirit and former co-executive directors of Yoga Service Council—for a step-by-step program that helps you develop an effective system of self-care. Over six weeks you’ll better understand, process, and remove the obstacles that stand in the way of your well-being, so you can live from your overflow—not your reserves.

Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s revolutionary. In this course Amina and Pam break down the layers of meaningful self-care: how to unpack your life experience to develop useful rituals; how your environment, different forms of trauma, and society affect your ability (and inability) to cultivate self-care; and how to create healing spaces. They’ll also invite experts to talk about the psychology and neurobiology of emotional well-being and share their own self-care toolkits. Plus, you’ll explore how to best share these tools and techniques with your community. Don’t miss this journey of self-discovery!

Here’s what you’ll learn:

– What is self-care?

– The science and neurobiology of self-care

– How your life experience contributes to your ability (or inability) to cultivate self-care

– How different forms of trauma, your environment, and society at large impacts your well-being
