1-Day Workshop

Be More Comfortable with Your Body

We are constantly being bombarded by other people’s information about what our bodies should or should not look and feel like, and it is very easy to take in this information as Truth.

In this workshop you will release judgment and invalidation about your body and the planet, so that being here on Earth can be a much more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Teacher: Rev. Michelle Comeau

7-Week course

Let Go of Invalidation and reconnect with yourself

What happens when we learn to question the voices that taught us we were not allowed to be ourselves?

In this class, we will explore the patterns of invalidation we have experienced and the beliefs we may have created around them — especially the beliefs that make us question our feelings, silence our voice, hide parts of ourselves, or hold back from speaking our truth.

Each week, we will focus on one chakra, using it as a pathway to explore where invalidation may show up in our lives.

We will look at:
~ What invalidation means and how it can appear in our lives
~ The pictures, experiences, and beliefs we carry around being invalidated
~ How invalidation may affect our ability to be fully ourselves
~ Where we silence, doubt, minimize, or disconnect from our own truth
~ What it means to recognize, release, and move beyond these beliefs

Through reflection, awareness, and healing practices, we will begin to separate our authentic truth from the voices and beliefs that taught us to doubt it. This is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, and your right to express who you truly are — without needing your truth to be validated by others.
