Session Leader(s):
Within each of us lies an extraordinary power to create lives of meaning, opportunity and fulfillment. Accessing this power requires an appreciation of ourselves and a high regard for our personal well-being. Such regard is often labeled as selfish by oppressive structures that habitually devalue and exploit human life. In this context, expressions of self-love and care are both revolutionary acts that affirm our innate worth and evolutionary acts that help us grow into our highest potential. They endow us with the energy and the agency needed to develop healthier lives and a more just and vibrant world. Participants in this two-part series will reflect on self-love fundamentals and engage in care-full practices that support their increased well-being.
