Creative Approaches to Self-Care: Grounding

In the first workshop of this series, we will focus on grounding skills. Grounding is a way of anchoring yourself in the present moment. It is the practice of reconnecting to yourself when you are feeling disconnected, using your senses to make contact with the world around you when you are overwhelmed and establishing personal touchstones to remind you of who you are and what is important to you. The group will utilize art, music and movement, and each participant will leave with a set of tools and skills that can be applied as needed throughout the academic year.

Instructors: Peggy Tileston, MA, MT-BC; Sondra Rosenberg, ATR-BC; Rebekka Hartwell, MA, BC-DMT, LPC
