Kristin L. Stein, M.Sc. Professional workshops and services
Mind~Body~Spirit Series
Preventing Burn-out with Self-Compassion (1 to 3+ hours/up to 30 participants)
In this workshop we examine various strategies to minimize and reduce the risk of “burn-out”. Common in all helping and frontline professions, yet immeasurable in terms of magnitude and impact, burn-out destroys desire and motivation, and robs people of fulfilling life experiences. Self-compassion is introduced as a personal strategy of self-care that encourages participants to re-examine the most important relationship in their life.
Taking Care of Self (1 to 3+ hours/up to 30 participants)
In this highly participatory workshop, we actively explore different approaches to self-care and personal health with the intent of raising our awareness about mind-body-spirit wellness. We look at different exercises and activities in order to energize and rejuvenate our minds, bodies and spirits. By taking time to discover personal strategies that awaken our mind-body-spirit connection and generate an awareness of ‘being’, we explore our own personal self-care commitments.
Mindfulness Meditation by donation (1-3 hours)
In this experiential workshop, we examine mindfulness meditation as a strategy to enhance personal awareness and well-being. Mindfulness meditation helps focus awareness on our body sensations, thoughts, and emotions in a compassionate, non-judgmental way. With practice, mindfulness meditation enables us to explore our inner world of mind and body, and allows us access to our inner psychological resources for better overall mind~body~spirit health.
