Research has proven that self-compassion serves as a buffer not only to depression and anxiety,
but also to dissatisfaction and stress during difficult transitions and situations.
It’s also been shown that self-compassion is intrinsically motivating; self-kindness and mindfulness, which are important aspects of mindful self-compassion, promote proactivity and empowered action.
This workshop series leverages this evidence along with a disciplined practice toward self-care;
sharing skills and tools to bring all this goodness more into your daily life,
especially during these collective times of deep uncertainty and crisis.
This series is for “self-identified women”, which to us means those who are 18+ years old and identify themselves as women,
trans women or femme.
This experience includes:

Featured Sound Artist
Jo-Jo Jackson
Jo-Jo Jackson, aka "The Yogi Bassist," is a Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic Counselor & Sound Practitioner. Her aim is to move students—& herself—on the path of self-inquiry in order to discover their highest Truth, & she encourages students to seek liberation from what is holding us back.
At a young age Jo-Jo started developing a relationship with music as her main creative outlet. Over years of practicing yoga & playing music, a natural merging of these two systems developed. Just as humans have been practicing yoga for thousands of years, people have been playing music for just as long.
While the yogi musician is not necessarily anything new, Jo-Jo’s unique experience to approaching sound from an energetic standpoint is what drives her passion for the free expression of divine Love through sound: Bhakti Yoga & Nada Yoga.

Your Facilitator
Peace people,
There are sooo many digital offerings during this time… though my intention here is to offer a resource that may be of service to deepen our compassion for ourselves and others in some really difficult times.
Given the demand of this series thus far, we’re offering this series in September on a different day.
Leveraging my training and experience in Mindful Self-Compassion, counseling psychology, mixed media art and group facilitation, i’m grateful to bring this potent version to you, wherever you are, in collaboration with some phenomenal sound artists and healers.
Hope to see you,
Chetna

As a French person, I was frightened to misunderstand or be misunderstood, to be of a different background, to be in tension, but everything felt fluid, very respectful, very caring, very compassionate, very universal.... Even at 2 o'clock in the morning for me, I felt joy to wake up and be part of the compassion experiment.” — Silvie
