SUMMARY:Don’t Beat Yourself Up: Using Self-Compassion to Combat Stress
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, striving for perfection is the goal. We often set very high standards for ourselves\, and when we cannot achieve these\, we are hard on ourselves.  This goal of “doing it right” even impacts us when we encounter stressors such as illness\, caregiving and grief.   This webinar will provide participants with the information and skills to take the first steps in overcoming harsh self-judgements and impossible standards\, in order to cultivate one’s own emotional well-being. \nJoin us for this supportive and informative webinar to explore what self-compassion is and is not\, the benefits of self-compassion\, some common misgivings\, and learn practices which promote self-compassion and other positive ways to attend to your needs.

SUMMARY:The Elephant in the Room: We all Die
DESCRIPTION:Denial of death continues to plague society. But why?  Believing death is disturbing and dangerous is common.  For some people\, thinking and talking about death can elicit feelings of anxiety\, fear\, awkwardness\, or sadness\, and because of this\, we tend to pretend\, as a culture\, that it’s not going to happen.  The reality is\, we are all going to die.  Confronting the idea of death can help us to live a more meaningful and authentic life. \nJoin us for an interactive conversation about death and dying\, and help break the taboo.  We will examine common views about death.  We will explore what shapes our perception of death.  We will review and debunk some myths about death.  And\, we will work toward naming the elephant in the room!
