Greetings Self Care Explorers!
Our theme this month is Discernment - thinking about why we make the decisions we do and what we can unpack there. How did we learn to make decisions about our bodies, relationships, boundaries, and everything else? What lessons do we still hold in our minds that may or may not actually be working well for us? How do we create the environment for ourselves that will allow us to thrive?!?!
We’re thinking about approaching everything with curiosity, not judgement…which can be pretty hard sometimes. How does it feel to prioritize this over the next few weeks? Paying attention to thoughts, mood, energy, emotions, and sensations can tell us a lot about ourselves.
Our self-discovery questions this month are: How do I create the environment I need? How do I surround myself with the right people?
Our breathwork technique is Alternate Nostril Breathing, and our movement is intuitive movement on the floor/bed top for a slow grounded exploration with judgement!
If you have time to watch the video this month, that’s what I’ll be talking about. Everything’s optional though, so don’t feel like you have to do everything!
Also, keep reading for some notes about last month’s meeting and some important reminders!
Some reminders and new information:
We’re having a social hang out!
Come join me and whoever shows up for a chill informal social event on Saturday, April 16th, from 1-2pm CT.
Here’s the Facebook event page with the details.
Our meeting is on April 24th from 12-2pm CT. Zoom will be open from 11:45am CT so you can come early to get set up, chat, and hang out so we can start right on time.
Please arrive on time or you’ll have to wait to enter until we take our break near the middle of the call. Based on the vote we took, no one will be allowed into the meeting after the 10 minute mark until we break around the halfway point.
This month you’ll need something to draw on and with like crayons, markers, or colored pencils. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be an artiste and no one else will see it unless you choose to share with the them. Other than that, just bring a comforting drink and/or snack, some cozy clothes, and yourself!
Time: Apr 24, 2022 12:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

Click the link to go to the When2Meet page with our calendar options for next month.
Enter your name and an optional password if you want to be able to come back and edit your availability. I recommend this.
Click ‘sign in’ and it will show you the scheduler. Be sure to check your time zone and make sure it’s correct for you. It will show you a selection of dates, divided by the hour, where you can fill in your availability.
To fill in your available times for our meeting, simply click on the little rectangles that divide up the hours. You can fine tune your available times by 15 minute increments. Select all the times that you would be available for our call. Do not select any times where you would not be available.
You will see the group’s availability on the right side of the screen, and can take a look at when the most overlap is. We will select our meeting time based on when the majority of people are available at the same time. Please fill the scheduler out asap so we can confirm the next meeting time and people can block their calendars.
