Deep Care: Embodying Care While Working in and Recovering From a Culture of Shame
As heart-centred and conscious health care providers care is at the forefront of everything we do. Or is it?
When we live, work in and are recovering from a culture of shame – sincere care for ourselves and others is not easy to deeply live and breathe.
Join Claire as we acknowledge the ways we subconsciously perpetuate a culture of shame for ourselves and those we work with. Together, we will experience the Culture of Care framework which is designed to create fertile ground for us to genuinely thrive and grow.
Through trauma-informed, brain-based somatic and embodiment practices, reflection and conversation, participants will leave with a deeper sense of how they can infuse their work and personal lives with the 6 elements of care culture: Safety, Belonging, Consent, Aliveness, Responsibility and Integration.
