Open Heart
When was the last time you were truly kind to yourself?
Not as a reward, not as self-care theater, but as a real, honest act of warmth toward the person you actually are? Most of us are better at being kind to strangers than to ourselves. And it costs us more than we realize.
Coming soon to…
“I love the teachers — they’re wonderful! It’s a genuinely free space that helps pull you out of the day-to-day whirlwind and gives you real quality time and a meeting with yourself.”
“I learned more about myself and what I’m feeling. Also, seeing certain things from another angle and meeting some really lovely people in this group ☺️.”
You can try many different ways to feel better about yourself:
You can read self-help books and listen to motivational podcasts.
You might push yourself harder at the gym, at work, or in your relationships.
You could vent to a friend or scroll through affirmations online.
You might even tell yourself to just "think positive" and power through.
Many of these efforts, while well-intentioned, only scratch the surface. They address the symptoms of our disconnection but don't reach the root of the problem.
Most of us have been trained from childhood to earn our own approval, to treat ourselves well only when we've "deserved" it.
And we wonder why we feel exhausted.
So what about this?
In OPEN HEART, we take a different approach to well-being: one that starts not with fixing ourselves, but with befriending ourselves.
We begin by exploring a surprisingly simple question: what does it actually mean to be kind to myself?
Through guided meditation and compassion practices, we learn to meet our thoughts and emotions without judgment, neither suppressing them, nor getting swept away by them.
We discover that the kindness we're looking for doesn't need to be manufactured. It needs to be uncovered.
