As we enter 2024, let’s foster a mindset to prioritise our self-care to sustain work/life balance. Let’s notice the patterns within ourselves and those we work with, that derail plans for self-care.
"Self-care means giving the world the best of you instead of what's left of you."
— Katie Reed
"Caring for ourselves is not self-indulgence it is self-preservation."
— Audre Lorde
In this workshop we will take a deep dive into expanding our experience of what self-care truly is, how we use it and how we can gain a greater understanding of what prevents us from caring for ourselves well. Working together we can create a new view of self-care to benefit ourselves and those we care for.
What’s on Offer?
The day will involve looking through a range of lenses to unfold what has both formed and informed our experience of self-care and what keeps us from it. Live demonstrations, experiential activities, personal reflection and discussion will be used to stretch and expand our understandings so that we might begin together to re-envision and so re-instate the place of self-care in all of our lives.
As we enter 2024, we hopefully do so with a mindset of prioritising our self-care to sustain our work/life balance. However, we regularly notice with ourselves and those we work with, the best of plans often get derailed.

Marcel has been a Mental Health professional/ therapist and supervisor for over 25 years and specialises in providing supervision for mental health professionals (Psychologists, therapists, supervisors, nurses, music therapists) and those in ministry settings of all types (ministers, priests, leaders, chaplains, pastoral carers, youth leaders and more) as well as other leaders, lawyers and school principals.

Julie McDonald
Having worked in diverse settings as a supervisor, therapist and educator I’m passionate about connecting people to what they think and feel, the way in which this shapes their lives and how they might wish to respond. I have a particular interest in compassionate ethics and the wisdom that can be acquired in coming to know ourselves and appreciating others.
