™Make Room
for Self
A Workshop in Self Compassion
You offer care to so many parts of your life. Make a little room to offer that care to yourself.
75 minutes on Zoom · Compassion workbook included
What if you met yourself
with a little more care?
You can care about others and make room for yourself, too.
Perhaps you have been moving from one responsibility to the next. Perhaps your inner voice has become more critical than encouraging. Or perhaps you simply want time to pause and listen to what you need.
Join me for 75 minutes of guided reflection, mindful attention and quiet writing. We will explore self compassion in ordinary, practical ways, with space to participate at your own pace.
Room for the person
you are today.
- You offer care to others and want to include yourself.
- You notice harsh self talk and want to explore a different response.
- You are navigating change or carrying a full set of responsibilities.
- You would appreciate guided time to reflect and write.
You can begin with what is here.
There is no requirement to share your personal reflections. You can write, listen, pause or choose another way to take part.
Notice. Offer care.
Make room.
A thoughtful path from understanding your experience to choosing one small, caring action.
Notice.
Arrive with a brief grounding practice. Explore how you speak to yourself and what has been asking for your time and energy.
Offer care.
Consider a more understanding response. Name what you need and explore how kindness can include support, boundaries and honest reflection.
Make room.
Choose one manageable action for everyday life. Leave with a personal reflection and a simple place to begin practising.
A workbook to return to.
A practice to make your own.
Your 20 page compassion workbook gives our conversation somewhere to continue after the workshop.
- Short reflections on self compassion
- Space to explore your inner voice and needs
- A letter to yourself
- A small action plan and seven day reflection page
Use it during the session and return to it in your own time. The workbook is included with this workshop.

A few things
you may be wondering.
A comfortable place, something to write with and a little time for yourself are enough to begin.
Do I need experience with mindfulness?
No previous experience is needed. I will guide the practices and offer choices throughout.
Will I need to share personal experiences?
No. Your reflections can remain private. You can choose what, if anything, you would like to share.
Will there be physical yoga poses?
This is a reflection and mindfulness workshop. You do not need a yoga mat or the ability to get down on the floor. Choose a position that feels comfortable and supported.
