About This Event

The Art of Self-Compassion is an in-person event for the local community.

What would change if you spoke to yourself with the same compassion you so readily offer the people you love?

In this installment of the Conversations with Art series, we’ll explore self-compassion—not as letting ourselves off the hook or pretending everything is okay, but as a different way of meeting ourselves when life is hard.

Through conversation, reflection, and a hands-on creative experience, we’ll look at the stories we tell ourselves, the expectations we carry, and the ways we can become our own harshest critics. Then we’ll use art to practice seeing ourselves through a gentler, more compassionate lens.

No artistic experience is needed. Come as you are, get a little messy, and leave with a different way of relating to the person you spend every day of your life with- yourself.
