Self Care: Do you need permission?

We have all been told that we should take care of ourselves. Some of us have attended countless workshops and read all the self-help books parsing the intricacies of how to self-care.

The fact that we are having a workshop today is indicative that perhaps more could be done, or that for some of us, self-care needs reminding. Attendees should come prepared to participate in short exercises that will facilitate sharing and introspection towards answers.
