In this workshop:

Uncertainty is not the brains friend! When we feel uncertain, and scared, our stress and survival system kicks in. And our culture sends us to mindfulness to help us calm down. But, that’s only half of the puzzle. We can’t truly calm down if we’re not also practicing self-expression. And self-expression is at the heart of play. If you feel the pressure to be calm, bored, or unfulfilled by your mindfulness practice, it’s probably because you’re missing play. Come participate in an experience of playful self-care and learning as TJ teaches you a structured yet enjoyable way to weave in self-expression in your wellness practice during times of stress and uncertainty.
