90-minute workshop 

Growing up in imperfect families, we have all been wounded by the ways our fundamental human needs were missed or neglected through the earliest years of our lives. In a very real way, these littlest parts of ourselves are still with us, still needing to be secure, seen, understood and accepted. In this workshop, we will:

• Explore the origins of present-day habits of mind, emotion and behavior, and get to know our younger child selves

• Become familiar with our secure attachment needs and how they may have been met or missed

• Spend time listening to our little child selves, fostering a safe and nurturing interior environment

• Learn to recognize adverse habits of mind, emotion or body as a part of ourselves needing our attention 

• Learn a simple 3-step process to respond to our adverse patterns in supportive and helpful ways

• Participate in a prayerful meditation to encounter our Lord and/or Our Blessed Mother caring for our little child self

We pray you will be blessed by this offering.
