In this session, we’ll be dancing with eye masks on to fully let go and explore our deeper self. It’ll be a whole new experience for you. Valeria is super excited to see you join us on this wonderful journey and enjoy this unique, free expression of who you are! Helena is passionate about creating a space for people to inspire each other by having them share their personal stories and what they’ve learnt from their challenges. We live in a world where it is easy to compare ourselves to others. This creates a lot of pressure to always achieve more, which often leads to constant frustration, stress, sometime anxiety if not depression. We are having a hard time reminding ourselves what we want our priorities to be. “Is this matter that creates so much pressure that relevant?” “Isn’t that other thing more important for me to be at peace, feeling calm and happy?” Priorities are hard to identify when we don’t take the time to pause and reflect on what is triggering the most joy. We are often worried about the unknown and don’t take the time to truly project ourselves and get more familiar with the outcomes. Once we do, we realize first that what worries us isn’t that big of a deal and second, that what makes us content is achievable. How can we pause, sit with ourselves, with our fears and observe what is creating anxiety? Where is this fear coming from? How real is it? Once we accept who we are, our fears, the reasons why we are afraid, we can make a decision and move forward. Learn how to accept yourself, be comfortable with who you are. Let’s get on this journey together and be free to make our own choices. Art Therapy: Art Through Meditation is not a drawing class. Lan prefers to call it art therapy. Welcome and join her to draw together. In the process, know more about yourself and the things around you. What is 'love', 'Goodness', and 'Beauty'? What is the feeling of loving someone? With one word in mind and a loved one in your heart, In each line, express it. Pick up the pen, draw it. For each line holds- No comments, no comparison, just joy. Feel it with the heart, The song between pen, paper and hand. Follow it, Let it delight you with peace.
