Seasonal Affective Disorder Workshop at Love University

Dec 29, 2024, 4 to 6 PM

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a common experience in Vermont. We empathize with all who find this time of year extra challenging. In this two-hour workshop, we will move beyond tools, tips, and techniques (everyone already knows to take vitamin D and get a happy light) and explore how our perspectives shape our relationship with the darker, colder months.

Through dialogue, journaling, and storytelling we'll explore our beliefs and experiences of winter; inviting in the possibility of a perspective shift. Together, we'll explore new ways of seeing and being; from childhood memories of snow play to honoring the slower pace of winter as nature's invitation to pause, as well as discussing the hardships frequently experienced during the winter season.

Our hope is that you'll leave with a deeper understanding of how your beliefs influence your experience of winter and an openness to embracing this season with curiosity and compassion.

Let's explore the possibility of a shift this winter. 🌨️

Open to all—come as you are!

We know these topics can feel intimidating. We just ask that you try to arrive on time and get as curious as possible. We have tea, snacks, writing materials, and fidgets - plus comfy chairs and floor seating. Please let us know any accommodations you may need.

Text Garin at 802-399-0176 to ask a question or to let us know you're coming!
