Finding our “Inner Strength
Date: Sunday January 27, 2019
Sponsor: Joyce Strong RN Confident Women Series
Cost: $35 Brunch and speaker
For Tickets:https://www.totalwellcoach.com/events/2019/1/20/confident-women-consortium-finding-your-inner-strength
Workshop Description
Throughout our life we may find ourselves swayed by the opinions and judgments of loved ones, co-workers, friends, acquaintances and the many voices of social media. We tend to sometimes find ourselves questioning our own sense of self and good judgment. We all have a core “inner strength” and “inner knowing.” Sometimes the problem is just getting in touch with it.
During our time together we will have an opportunity to find a way of “centering.” You will be guided in an integrative imagery session through the use of a relaxation method and guided questions to access an image of your “inner strength.” You will connect with the image and spend some time getting to know the image better which is really a way of getting to know yourself better. After the session you may journal or draw your experience to keep for yourself. You’ll have an opportunity to process the session with other women and to ask questions.
Permission to Pause
Have a House Party! I travel to homes, libraries, schools, and other institutions to help groups find simple ways to find ways to take a brief break and relax during the course of a busy day. I have offered this workshop at both the Lincoln and Concord libraries to groups who have found the tips helpful. Gather your friends together and host a session in your living room! There will be a reduced rate for the host. Sessions include:
- Breathing techniques to incorporate relaxation and a sense of ease into a busy day
- Body scan and guided imagery relaxation
- Progressive muscle relaxation and guided meditation techniques.
- Sleep tips & techniques for returning to sleep after interruptions.
We will also discuss practical applications that fit into your busy lifestyle! Please contact me for rates. Catherine@HealingWaysConcord.com 781-786-1943
Women’s Healing Circle
Such an unbelievable awakening of the need to care more for myself!” ~ Circle Participant

Time: 7 – 8:30 p.m.
Location: Healing Ways, 97 Lowell Road, Concord, MA

Take a pause from ordinary life and join me and my colleague, Clarissa Sawyer, as we show you a variety of self-care practices in a small, intimate group of like-minded women.
In a circle format, we’ll begin each session with a check-in, spend some time learning self-care practices, and share our experiences.
Self-care practices we cover include various styles of breathing, guided imagery, embodied awareness practices, movement, self-awareness and self-compassion techniques, journal writing, and more.
This group is appropriate for women of all ages and life stages, including healing and health-care professionals. Enjoy this opportunity to slow down, tap into your inner guidance, and access your Wise Self.
