The Art of Rest: A Circle of Care for Caregivers
Five gentle pauses for those who give so much.
In life, we are always going to either give or receive care.
For givers, it’s crucial to learn the art of receiving; for receivers, it’s just as important to give. Caregiving, whether for a child, a parent, a partner, a student, or a community, is an act of profound love. But in the cycle of caring, we often forget to offer that same tenderness to ourselves. This is your invitation to come home to yourself.
Caring for yourself is not a break from caring for others. It is where it begins.
Each 90-minute session is an immersive experience, lightly held and deeply felt. These are not workshops or webinars but circles of care, spaces where you can simply be. Together, we will engage with the arts in ways that invite rest, renewal, and deep reflection.
What to Expect?
Zentangling our way into quiet
A creative process that fosters focus and calm, allowing the mind to rest.
Music and sound to soften the inner noise
Using sound to center ourselves and invite tranquility.
Creating through art, writing, and collage
Exploring our inner weather and emotions through artistic expression.
Movement, breath, and stretching into ease

Play, pause, and reflection through drama, stories, and silences
Creating moments of shared reflection and dialogue through storytelling and experiential exercises.
Reflect together on the key questions every caregiver faces
How can I show up for myself when I’m already stretched thin?
How do I create space for rest and renewal, even in the midst of constant responsibility?
What does it mean to replenish my energy so that I can continue to give from a place of fullness?
How can I bring more care into my own life without feeling guilty?
