Thursdays, Oct 26 and Nov 9 ; 6 - 8 p.m.

Is it hard for you to be kind to you? 

Ah, the holidays! A time when we hope for warmth, peace, and understanding but often find our thinking filled with pressure, criticism, and blame. If you think about it, we’ll have more conversations with ourselves than we will ever have with anyone else. If they aren’t kind, how will we find happiness, peace, and connection? 

In this class, we’ll learn about how to notice as the pressures of the season arise, and practice using the tools of Compassionate Communication to bring compassion and understanding to our inner life. 

Facilitator: Denise Torres.

Cost: $65. Sliding scale available in case of financial hardship.

Registration: Space is limited to 8 participants, so early registration is recommended. Contact Denise for more info or to register: email or call 530-867-3198.
