About
this program:
Practitioners
in the Human Services field are often so busy helping others that they fail to
look after themselves. These 2 days are a chance to reflect, relax and explore,
in community, how to be even more effective in working with others through
exploring yourself. The workshop is based on the notion of “self as instrument”
and the “5 guiding principles for living in grace and ease”, that are the basis
of all of Linda’s workshops. This workshop is also suitable for anyone who
works with people in any capacity and wants to increase their self awareness,
coping strategies and skills.
