Making Friends Workshop - April 9th, 2025 & April 26th, 2025
Many of us feel socially isolated and lonely. We learned to isolate during Covid and we don’t quite know how to re-connect. Cellphones seem to offer us connection, but often, after a phone call, we feel lonely.
Over the years, we have unlearned how to make friends. We feel shaky, shy, hesitant. At this workshop we will explore how to connect with people, what gets in our way and find our way to joyful new relationships.
From Self-Critic to Self-Care - May 3rd, 2025
Many of us are filled with self-critical inner voices. These voices or messages negatively impact our lives, effecting our self-confidence and our sense of worth. Living with these critical messages undermines our sense of well-being.
How can we- Can we? -change the messages in our heads? The answer is Yes! we can change the messages in our heads.
Befriending ourselves is a little-known art of meeting your deepest needs.
At this workshop, you will have a chance to reflect on the cost of this self-critique, understand its origins and, most importantly, learn strategies for countering that inner, negative voice. You will come away feeling better about yourself and better able to love the people you love.
Time: 2pm-4pm

The Power of Awe - June 7th, 2025
Experiencing awe takes us out of our hum drum existence and brings us to a state of inner excitement and reverence. It is something most humans experience on occasion, often in nature. Like when we see two rainbows arching one above the other, we may feel awe.
Amazingly, feeling awe has many social and personal-life improving “properties.”
Our feelings of social connection increases, our stress diminishes, our generosity expands and our overall sense of well-being improves. These are things we all need, especially these days!
In this workshop, we will talk about how awe has inspired us, learn more about its benefits and, most importantly, learn ways to increase our capacity to experience awe in our daily lives.
Location: 326 W. Chelten Ave, Philadelphia, PA, 19144
