Journey Inward, Journey Outward: Self Care and Awakening.
The 2019 Teach-In events are designed to assist in grounding our compassion and service to others by cultivating spiritual self care. Before we can activate our spiritual purposes, we must first feed our spiritual cores. In the three teach ins, learn to avoid compassion fatigue, empower your body with spiritual energy and move from surviving to thriving and awakening. Join us for one, two or all three of our teach ins.
At the Olin-Hitt home:

“Chill ’n Refill: Avoid becoming an empty cup” with Jane Ehrman
In this session, learn to avoid “compassion fatigue” and burn out. Often, we feel a spiritual call to works of service in which we put aside our self needs for the needs of others. However, if we are not mindful about our own needs, we can find ourselves in burn out mode, even in the work that feeds our souls. This session will be highly experiential in which we will learn about compassion fatigue, explore the meanings of self care and experience mindfulness through guided imagery. The goal is to identify methods to develop resilience and to serve our spiritual purposes from a place of self-care instead of fatigue.

“The Sacred Body: Returning to our Original Unity and Divine Essence” with Renee Jennings
Our bodies are not only made of the same elements as the Earth, but the body is a conduit for the sacred energy of the Earth. In this session, we will engage in the experiential process of coming home to the temple of the body. Integrating somatic, psychological, meditation, energy and shamanic practices, we will enter into deep communion with the body, surrender and relax into right relationship with the sacred Earth, and allow our consciousness to be awakened and expanded.
