Care Experience Examples
Self-Care Painting Workshop
This self-care workshop is designed to create an opportunity for participants to express how they feel on the inside through the creation of a painting. Join us for a time of creativity, relaxation, and community building
Breath and Meditation
Our breath connects the body and the mind. You are invited to a restorative breath and meditation practice to calm the heart, mind, body, and soul with scripture and prayer (Christian Faith-based content).
Check Your Wellness Compass
Experience a Personal Wellness Assessment and learn about how to make a Whole-Person plan for wellness. Learn about how to participate in a Wellness Circle, which are small groups where people gather for six weeks to be intentional about making healthier choices for themselves and their families.
RUPTURE AND REPAIR
Participants will engage in a tangible activity that will help eliminate self-destructive talk. This method is focused on getting rid of doubts, insecurities, what you have been called, what you are afraid of, and an overall negative self-image that has occurred within the past year or even a lifetime.
Clear and Clarify YOUR MIND
Sometimes all of the details, thoughts, ideas, and plans in our head start to weigh us down and create overwhelm instead of inspiration. In this session, we take time to capture all of it on paper and release stress, as well as develop a structure for organizing our mind.
Vision Board
We sometimes struggle to achieve goals we cannot see - this activity is for people to project their goals on this board in a positive and confident manner. This will help you to have a tangible tool for maintaining perspective and focus even during stressful times
START YOUR SELF-CARE PLANNER
Learning about self-care practices can be fun, but we know that unless we make a plan, it likely won't become part of our habits or routines. Join us for a practical session of creating your own self-care planner, customized just for you, by you!
Cultivate Your Care
What does the growth process look like? How do we cultivate our soil and foundation of care? Come participate in a cultivation discussion as we spend some time with succulents and learning about thriving in challenging seasons.
FAQ
The event is a 3-hour experience.
The first hour is a large-group learning time where we unpack the causes, effects, and prevention of burnout and compassion fatigue.
The next two hours are care experience workshops. Each participant chooses from the available workshops for each session and will be provided the appropriate materials to engage in the experience.
We're all about autonomy, choice, and voice!
If you would rather observe than participate in the workshop, or if you would prefer to opt-out at any time, a space will be provided for your personal processing and comfort. This whole experience is for YOUR wellness and mental health - we don't want you to be stressed out!
We love kids and youth!
AND...we know that the caregiving relationship means that the presence of our younger community members can keep us from being able to provide the care to ourselves that we really need, so we will ask that children 15 and younger sit this one out.
Please put your oxygen mask on before attempting to help those around you.
When considering whole-person care, the spirituality dimension cannot be removed from the process of complete health, so the answer is "yes!"
Honoring that expression of spirituality is individually and communally developed, we hold that authentic and healthy humans can respectfully express their belief system without negating another person's traditions or interpretations, so we encourage people to bring their whole selves to this event. If your expression of healthy self includes religion or spiritual reflection, that's an important part of bringing wholeness to your being, and we are here for it.
Also, we have an expectation that all participants will engage in Unconditional Positive Regard for all other humans in the room.
You are worth it.
