How Do We Care for Ourselves While We Are Suffering?

Past event
Feb 21, 2020, 7 to 9 PM

Join special guests Dr. Maria Sirois and Izzy Lennihan from Kripalu at Yoga Roots Williston this weekend.

Love is the Answer is a 2 Day workshop on creating a happier, healthy heart-centered life in the presence of loss, doubt and suffering.

Learning to care for ourselves while managing the stressors, losses, and doubts in our lives is not always an easy task. Those of us who do this well – who find the capacity to love ourselves fully and wisely while engaging in the world understand a few key learnings: love really is the answer, self-care is far more than just eating and sleeping well, and having a playful approach to life helps tremendously. Join us in our exploration of strategies and tools, based on the science of positive psychology, that enable us to love ourselves a bit more carefully in order to love our life a bit more easefully!

Dates: Friday, Feb 21, 7 – 9 pm AND Saturday, Feb 22, 10am-4pm Cost for 2-day workshop FR-SAT: $225.00

Dr. Maria Sirios is a master teacher, facilitator and author. She is devoted to the science of well-being and the art of crafting a life and a work that embodies health, passion and success. As a positive psychologist (Psy.D.) and consultant, she focuses on the resilience of the human spirit particularly when under chronic stress, during significant transitions or changes, and/or feeling the shock of wholesale change. Known for her wisdom, authenticity and rampant humor, Maria brings a depth of experience in leadership development and stress management for corporate and non‐profit professionals alike. Her work in the medical, legal, human service, financial, technology and educational sectors focuses on building capacity and engagement around chronic stressors such as conflicting goals, difficult conversations, unrealistic expectations and moments of failure — using such moments to leverage sustained positive shifts in perspective and ability. Her home is in the Berkshire Mountains where she attempts on a daily basis to love her children well enough so that they too find a way to embrace the world with a grounded optimism and a sense of their own strengths. And on most days, she remembers to feed the cat.

Izzy Lenihan began her passion for helping individuals define and achieve their life long goals for nearly 18 years as a personal adviser at the world renown Canyon Ranch Spa and Health Resort. As a result she trained as a certified Life and Wellness Coach, through the Excelerator Lifestyle Coaching Program located in BC, CA. In addition to being part of the faculty at Kripalu, Izzy now operates a successful life and wellness coaching business of her own called Prescription for Life where she works with individuals, businesses, organizations and groups throughout the community offering comprehensive wellness programs. In addition to offering programs on site her client base expands worldwide serving people using teleclasses technology.
