Enlightenment, Awakening, Whatever (Office Hours with Alane)

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

video preview​

Not yet a member of AYHS? That's okay, you can join us for just one Office Hours if you would like to explore this groundbreaking book. Here's a gift... a half off coupon before HSP Spirituality Month ends.

It's time for our last Spirituality Month Tools and Topics this Sunday! We'll dig in to "Enlightening, Awakening, Whatever" as Elaine Aron's new book makes the case for extreme brain care for HSPs. I'll offer my takeaways and hope to hear from you.

What questions and ideas do you have about living your best sensitive life? How do we support children and youth with spiritual practice in a culture that doesn't even want to use the word "spiritual"?

I hope you will save these dates for Mothering May at AYHS. We're focusing on motherhood next month with three apt topics:

  • May 5th - Raising Resilient Kids
  • May 10th - Mother's Day: Honoring and healing complex relationships with mothering (your mother/your children).
  • May 21st - Rulz 4 Girlz: The rules girls learn; the rules we would love for them to learn; the rules we learned: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Come on over if you can. Bring your questions or scenarios to get support and bring a way to take notes.

Blessings and breath,
Alane
