The Science and Wisdom of Being Kind to Yourself
- WORKSHOP
Welcome! And blessings to you for taking the time to invest in one of the most important relationships you have: the one with yourself.
We hope the time you spend engaging with this workshop feels like a gift to you, from you.
During this workshop, Second Breath Conscious Facilitator Rev. Jo Nygard Owens will walk you through why cultivating a self-compassion practice really matters, and also how to start one. By the end, we hope you’ll feel deeply connected to your inner goodness and equipped with tools to care for yourself in future times of need.
Sound good?
Before playing the workshop recording below, we request you take a few deep breaths and gather the following:

We hope you’re feeling inspired and empowered to treat yourself with the same kindness you’d treat a dear friend. You deserve it. (And the best part is, those you love will benefit too!)
