Protecting Our Own Well Being in Challenging Times with Wayne Tormala

Life Interrupted: Self-Care When Things Fall Apart!
Life gets interrupted….it’s inevitable! While we may manage most daily interruptions, some events such as an illness or loss of hope can challenge our ability to cope. We don’t suffer because things are impermanent, but because we what them to be permanent and feel stuck in our ability to manage the stress of change.

This workshop explores ways in which we can manage such times with a healthy perspective and practice a sampling of self-audits and optional ways to “listen within” as we translate our thoughts and feelings into actions that can increase our sense of well-being.

“Protecting Our Own Well-Being in Challenging Times” consists of five half-day workshops (see below) designed to build attendees’ knowledge and skills in attaining sustainable life balance and awakened decision-making amidst the many distractions and stressors that bombard us in tumultuous times. Workshops are presented in didactic and experiential formats that include both group engagement and highly-individualized attention, and utilize a framework addressing five dimensions of well-being: physical comfort, mental ease, emotional balance, social connectedness, and spiritual lightness. As a core value in each session, every effort will be made to ensure a “safe space” for attendees to participate in a manner that is responsive to their needs and interests. While the workshop series provides a continuum of five major areas of focus, each session can also be attended as a single, independent event with specific content and intended outcomes.
