Discover & Deepen Your Self-Love

What is your experience of self love?

Such an integral part of life, but what do we mean, when we say, and try to experience or move toward, self love?

It has many aspects: self care, self acceptance, self appreciation, self value (enoughness) - and many more...

Central to (and symbiotic with) all of those, is what we will be focusing on: a real, tangible, felt experience, from yourself, to yourself, about yourself - that "I love me".

Not egotistically, not narcissistically, but in the same, increasingly unconditional way, with less and less attachments or requirements, and more and more nuance and depth.

Exploring this self-love, finding and deepening your loving experience of yourself - and all the wonderful things that come from it - is the nature, direction, and focus of this group.

The methodology, is an adventure.

We are exploring self love.

We are doing it together.

We all have our (internal)space suits on, for the journey inwards, and each time we meet, we will be approaching our own experience of ourselves, in and through self-love, from different angles.

We begin by using existing teachings and practices as a base: we may have personal discussions based on our experiences, we may go deep and shed our fears as we smooth our rough edges, we may do it totally without words for part of the time - we work with multiple modalities and methods every time.

Sometimes the exercises are interactive with the whole group, sometimes you may be paired or in small groups, and other times it's purely personal activity (no sharing or collaborating needed).

Each meeting has a structure and a planned format:

Starting with introductions & vegan snacks - (20-30 minutes),
Followed by a brief guided meditation to set a container of safe space (and open up to the exploration we're about to do together) - (10 minutes),
Then a main method (or three) that we will focus on for the majority of our time together (60-80 minutes)

When we're complete:

We'll do another brief guided meditation (5-10 minutes),
Followed by a sharing round to help integrate and process our experiences (20-30 minutes),
And finally an optional open time afterwards for meeting one another and open discussion (up to ~30 minutes) (Note: This is not a time/place to pitch or get pitched any type of product or service, it is about genuine human connections with people on the spiritual path, free of dogma, and is totally optional.)
We begin promptly at 6:15PM, and wrap up around 8:30 (you are welcome to stay a little longer and chat & meet people).

No Experience Necessary

It is said that "no iota of spiritual effort is wasted", and so while every meeting builds on previous ones - and all the time you've spent in your own cultivation, exploration, or education on your love of yourself - each time we meet is completely self-contained, so you don't need to have attended any previous event, have no obligation to attend any future event, nor do you need any prerequisite experience.

Bring yourself, as you are, and the interest to find & deepen your experience of self love, and we will see you on our next journey inside, to encounter and explore the deep, important, valuable being that you are - and cultivate your true, felt love for your self.
