February Self-Care Salon: Educators and Childhood Professionals
Welcome to the Self-Care Salon!
The February salon will focus on how educators, caregivers, and other folks working with young children can take care of ourselves while also taking care of the vulnerable children under our care. The work of holding space for children, particularly for vulnerable, marginalized, or traumatized children, takes a specific toll on professionals and caregivers, and navigating self-care within these settings can be challenging.
This discussion will touch on vicarious trauma, emotional co-regulation, early warning signs of burn-out, and preventative self-care for childhood development professionals and child caregivers.
Rein Sastok, BEd, will be our guest presenter.
Wondering what this is all about?
Each month, we'll meet for tea and snacks and discussion - an opportunity to take a deep dive into a specific self-care topic, with space for your questions and insights.
Each self-care salon will include a short presentation by a community expert - someone who can speak from their own experience about a self-care related topic. "Expertise" in this context is a broad and inclusive word, not limited to folks with letters after their names or professional designations, and recognizing the expertise that we each gain over the course of our lives. If you're interested in presenting, get in touch!
These workshops are intended to be as accessible as possible. The space is wheelchair accessible (through the back door), with a separate space for folks who are experiencing sensory overwhelm to chill out, and gluten-free and vegan snack options.
The cost for the workshop is $50 or pay-what-you-want. Nobody will be turned away for financial reasons. Enter the code CARE for $20 off the February workshop!
Sustainable and ethical self-care is not possible without intentional and compassionate community care, and the Indigenous communities whose land we live on are often forgotten. These workshops take place on Treaty 7 land, and the traditional territories of the Blackfoot, Siksika, Piikuni, Kainai, Tsuutina, and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nation. This land is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
10% of the proceeds from the December workshop will be given to the Awo Taan Healing Lodge. http://www.awotaan.org/
