Layers of Grace
A WORKSHOP OF CREATIVE EMPOWERMENT FOR WOMEN
Who may benefit from this project?
Any woman who...
• has looked in the mirror and disliked what she saw.
• can never be thin enough in her own opinion.
• thinks she may have hidden talents, but has been reluctant to bring them out and express them because of a low self image.
• wants to confront negative messages that undermine her self-esteem.
Why Layers of Grace?
Years of body armor and self-protection that many of us
carry in our bodies and psyches cannot be wiped away by programs
that are approached with the attitude,
“I’ll be beautiful, powerful, confident, when…”
When we take this approach, we are defeated
before we start on a course of self-improvement. Many such programs serve to magnify feelings of self-doubt, as we are focused on weaknesses. Then, we are often critical of ourselves and may even sabotage our own progress. We embark on such courses, in the first place, because we believe there is something wrong with us. Significant others and media sources tell us something is wrong...that we need fixing.
The Layers of Grace Project is about what is right with you.
The program offers a positive and innovative approach to facing body image and self-esteem issues. It is designed to help participants to reclaim an inner sense of personal power, creativity and gracefulness - while embracing and letting go of old, self–defeating behaviors and their causes with strength and trust. Through the use of creative movement, therapeutic role-play and mental imagery, we may find a true sense of who we are underneath the layers of fear, denial and self-rejection.
Layers Of Grace offers a unique blend of
group support and individual empowerment.
It is a holistic program with components that addresses
the body, mind and Spirit with joy, creativity and nurturance
from the inside out. If you are a woman who feels
ready to take a playful adventure into your true self,
come walk the path with Layers Of Grace.
