This online workshop is designed for caregivers of all kinds - parents, teachers, therapists, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and more. Learn to nurture a compassionate relationship with yourself through 5Rhythms® dance and Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) techniques. This foundation sets the stage for exploring sustainable and compassionate ways to navigate caregiving dynamics.

  • Deepen your 5Rhythms® practice: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness will guide you in discovering and expressing your authentic self.

  • Learn Compassionate Mind Training: Understand the evolutionary basis of emotions and learn practices to cultivate self-compassion.
