Take a moment for yourself 💚

Do you find yourself busy working through the never-ending 'to do' list, always putting other people first so you have little or no energy for yourself?

Taking even a small amount of time for yourself can make a real difference to how you cope with the ups and downs of life.

This free session offers a chance to pause, reflect and learn simple ways to support yourself when things feel challenging.

To join Claire on Friday 17th April 9 - 9.45am UK time, sign up via:

💭How do you speak to yourself when things go wrong?💭

Many of us are far kinder to others than we are to ourselves.

If you're curious about learning a different way, join Claire for a free online self-compassion session THIS Wednesday 9am UK time. A gentle introduction to practices that help us respond to stress and difficulty with warmth rather than self-criticism.

Everyone welcome 😊

Happy International Self Compassion Day!
What can you do today that is restorative in the midst of the relentless pressures?
..and let's be real... Sometimes there IS no time.

In this case - Imagine what a good friend would say to you, or what you would say to them facing the the same situation. Connect to that strength and feeling of support 💪🙏

TOMORROW is International Self-Compassion Day!

On Saturday, July 19th, people around the world will come together to celebrate the power of treating ourselves with kindness, especially when we’re struggling.

Whether you're new to self-compassion or it’s already part of your daily life, tomorrow is a special invitation to pause and reconnect with your inner ally.

✨ Join me for a free live Gathering at 11am CT—I’ll lead a guided practice and answer your questions. Let’s practice together as a global community!

RSVP for FREE: https://vist.ly/3ydyr

✨ However you choose to honor ISCD—through meditation, journaling, mindful movement, or a few kind words to yourself—you’ll be contributing to a more compassionate world, starting from within.

What if you took a full 5 minutes to eat a single strawberry? 🍓

Acknowledging honouring our historical and cultural relationships with food.

Allowing yourself to take in the visual details - the shine, the bumps, the vivid colours.

Taking a moment to fully breathe in the scent.

Appreciating how it feels in your fingers

Reflecting on the many hands that helped bring it to your table.

Noticing before you've even it you may be salivating in anticipation.

Very slowly noticing it crossing your lips...and wow...that first splash of flavour!

Continuing to eat in this way ....slowly

Even delivering the practice, I have never enjoyed a more delicious strawberry!

🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

This was part of our Mindful Self-Compassion 8 week course on the Silent Retreat day. A time to put down the phone and really deepen the practices.

We hired a private school so we had the full privacy to walk, rest explore.

One participant said they had been scared of silence their whole life, but they were buzzing, and they could have stayed there forever 🙏🪷✨️
