WINTER RESILIENCE SUPPORT GROUP: A Six-Week Series Meeting Twice Monthly
Organized by BLOOMING PEACE STUDIO
“It’s so hard to think in winter. The world seems confined in the space of your heart; you can’t see beyond yourself.”—Patricia A. McKillip
Discussions & Creative Expression Experiences
We will talk about seasonal factors contributing to stress such as the aftermath of unmet holiday expectations, avoidant triggers, weather limiting time outdoors, reduced daylight, winter fatigue, low energy, etc. We will learn ways to adapt and cope with the seasonal change, including self-compassion practices and how to support others with the winter blues.
