Do you feel like you are moving faster than you want to most of the time?

How could slowing down, even for two hours, support your well-being?

Savoring Time is a mini-retreat

for you to slow down and soften,

delight your senses, and

reflect in community.

In Savoring Time mini-retreats, you’ll engage the senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Savoring Time is an invitation to soft savoring for your whole being.

April’s theme is Sweet Spring.

You’ll make an essential oil blend to support you in living sweetly. Savoring Time also includes light refreshments.

The exchange for Savoring Time is $44. If you prefer to pay via Venmo (@hartcommunication), Zelle (cory@corylockhart.com), or cash, use the code PAYLATER. If the cost is prohibitive, scholarship funds may be available.

I am a creative work in progress. Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, a 12-week process of creative recovery, has been an instrumental tool in helping me get out of my own way. I've gone through the process multiple times by myself and accompanied groups through it

Each time the process has been rich and led to new discoveries, insights, and steps on the creative path. Each time I have deepened my self-understanding and expanded my creative practices. Journeying through The Artist’s Way with others has amplified the elements of play, depth, curiosity, and inspiration. I am excited to share The Artist’s Way with others again.

If you are looking for a reset...

If you are wanting to connect with play and wonder...

If you are longing for deep connections with yourself and others...

Join me starting in April as we explore The Artist's Way.

Early Early Bird rate available through March 15!!

Have you spent most of your life as a people pleaser, attentive to the needs of everyone except yourself?

Do you feel guilty even for having needs?

Do you say “yes” to requests when your internal answer is actually “no” and find yourself resentful and frustrated for doing so because you have no time for yourself?

Do you hear people talking about self-compassion and think it sounds like a far-off dream? 

If you are feeling exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself, join me for this 6-week series.

In this series, you’ll: 

• Have dedicated time to set aside everyone else’s needs and tune into your mind, your heart, your body and your needs, creating a greater sense of balance

• Learn tools that help you stay connected with yourself so you can move from exhaustion to empowerment  

• Practice speaking up for yourself, aligning your internal voice with your external words and actions 

• Find self-care strategies that work for you, so you don’t find yourself running on empty 

This series includes: 

• Mindfulness practices 

• Compassionate Communication skills 

• Body awareness tools

• Being in community with others who know these struggles as intimately as you 

In order to make this process both accessible to more people and sustainable for me, I offer it on a sliding scale:

• $320- Support 2 Rate supports the scholarship rate and allows for greater access to the program.

• $280- Support 1 Rate adds support for Cory’s sustainability and her ability to develop ideas and activities that are not paid through classes or workshops.

• $235- Standard Rate reflects the true cost of the program. Register by March 26 using the coupon code PPEB for the Early Bird discount of $25 off!

• $190- Discounted Rate is for those who sometimes struggle with limited financial resources and would benefit from support. This level has limited spots.

• $150- Scholarship Rate supports those experiencing financial hardship; this level has limited spots and will open once there are 6 Standard and/or Support registrations. Want to be notified when these open? Contact Cory here.

Many of us feel the divisiveness of our time. We long to talk about issues and topics that are important to us with people- especially family members and friends- who may see things differently, but we’re afraid that doing so will break connection and create irreparable discord.

How do we move from “us” and “them” to a sense of shared vision?
 
This 2-hour online workshop introduces a framework for finding connection in challenging conversations about ideological issues that are important to us.* Learn to identify, honor, and express yourself with clarity, honesty, and integrity. Using these strategies opens possibilities for win-win outcomes.
 
The workshop includes:

• An outline of the framework

• Introduction of strategies

• Modeling of the practices, with particular focus on conversations about issues

• Skills and resources to use immediately

This workshop will be recorded. The recording will be available for viewing for 2 weeks after the workshop.

The Standard Contribution Level is $44. The Pay-It-Forward Contribution Level is $66 (this contribution level supports scholarships for this or future events). The Scholarship Contribution Level (limited in number) is $22. Please consider mindfully what you are able to contribute.

Add an optional practice session December 9 for $33/$16 scholarship. Because of the vulnerable nature of the conversations, the practice session will not be recorded.
