We’re so glad to hear of your interest in the Growing Humankindness community, our sangha of the heart. The community is for people who self soothe with food and who want to deepen compassion, presence, and courage with food and themselves.
Deepening the healing you began in other classes
If you want compassionate support to soften overeating in a gentle, soulful way, then this group may be for you. We’ll be deepening presence, compassion and listening to help you let go of overeating, soften shame, grow in self trust, and nurture the possibility of healing.
The group is capped at 24 members and is a 6 month commitment. We’ll be moving more slowly and deeply than in our classes with lots of space to explore, integrate, and share your experience.
What the community includes
Each month we explore a Healing Focus to nurture healing:
- July – Bringing rest and play to the healing journey
- August – Inner listening
- September – Connecting with the body’s grace
- October – Softening pursuit/addictive patterns
- November – Self forgiveness
- December – Birthing your healing story
Then we meet on one Thursday and one Saturday a month for webinars where you can ask questions, get coaching and support, and connect. The Saturday webinars are ‘Soul Circles’ where we explore the month’s theme in a creative way, through images, collage, journaling, writing, or doodling. No artistic skill is needed to participate. Webinars are on zoom, from 3 to 4:30 pm central time.
Here are the dates when we’ll be meeting:
- Thursday, July 11th and Saturday, July 27th
- Thursday, August 15th and Saturday, August 31st
- Thursday, September 12th and Saturday, September 28th
- Thursday, October 10th and Saturday, October 26th
- Thursday, November 7th and Saturday, November 23rd
- Thursday, December 5th and Saturday, December 14th
