Join us for these Lunchtime Recharges – you can choose to take only one workshop or join all of them! You do not need to commit to all four. Each workshop will focus on a different aspect of energy restoration, protection, and grounding.

Registration Deadline: The Monday prior to scheduled workshop.

Walking along side others on their path toward healing is one of the most meaningful roles a person can take on in life.  It is an honorable professional and personal path for us all.

However, giving can be draining and depleting and lead to compassion fatigue and burnout.  It is our imperative to learn how to restore our energy, protect our energy, and not take on others’ energy.  We need to cultivate ways of giving that are sustainable and supportive of our own well-being.

There is a strong emphasis on experiential learning in this workshop and active participation will be expected.

Learning objectives

Participants will:

1. Engage in self-care restorative strategies
2. Explore ways to protect your personal energy for burnout prevention
3. Experience and learn guided visualizations to help ground in your own energy and hold separation
