Personal Caring Profile

Many of our parents have taught us that being generous or kind was the most important thing in our families and faith, yet those beautiful beliefs can also contribute to our over-work and exhaustion. This workshop helps teachers look at personal, familial and spiritual patterns of caregiving and self-care. Our morning will be centered on rich discussion around the workshop questions, followed by a fabulous lunch (provided). Our afternoon will feature several fun activities where we release old patterns and create new beliefs so that we can be kind in ways which also sustain us. If you were raised by teachers, nurses, or other helping professionals, or had a religious or spiritual upbringing and aren’t great at self-care, this workshop is for you!

All “Sustainable Me” workshops are held in beautiful spaces in the metro area of Colorado. Please contact Dr. Sue (Sassydoc61@gmail.com) if you’re interested in attending via Zoom.

Next event: coming soon in 2023!

Which personal mentors have most affected your beliefs about caring and self-care?

How has your spirituality or faith influenced your belief about self-care? Positively and negatively?
