Friday, May 10 - Saturday, May 11, 2024
This two-day workshop will be co-facilitated by Dr. Shira Taylor, MD, and Melina Bondy, RP, and will engage the tools of mindfulness and somatic awareness to grow skills related to Interpersonal Boundaries. Yes, that most tricky and challenging area of life! Whether you are needing to shift your boundary patterns with family, friends, a partner or colleagues, this workshop will help you to better understand what subconscious blocks may be affecting you, and how you can work with them in order to grow the kinds of relationships you would like to have in your life.
This workshop will focus on Self-Compassion, Deep Listening, and Wise Communication. It is part of a series that also covers physical boundaries and emotional boundary skills. Participants can attend a single weekend or the whole series.
