💫 About the Event
The Self Care Circle is a welcoming, small-group gathering designed to help you build a more sustainable and compassionate approach to self care. Each session explores a different topic—from joyful movement and somatic practices to habit and routine building, mindfulness, and other practical tools that support your physical and mental well-being.
Rather than focusing on perfection or quick fixes, these workshops emphasize curiosity, connection, and real-life strategies that can be adapted to your unique needs.
Each Self Care Circle includes a blend of education, experience, and opportunities for discussion, reflection, and shared learning. Depending on the session's theme, participants may explore gentle movement, somatic exercises, guided reflection, practical planning strategies, or other evidence-informed self care practices.
Our September session, Imperfect Meal Planning, is like a stragegic planning session. Except instead of a board room surrounded by serious faces in suits, you're in Hearth's cozy kitchen and sitting room, surrounded by kind faces in whatever the heck they feel most comfortable, and the strategy you're building is a grocery and meal plan that honours you as a whole person.
Throughout this session each partcipant will create their own, personalized grocery and meal plan, and leave with a framework that they can use again and again. Unlike other meal plans, this one will leave you feeling nourished and satisfied, without getting boring or repetitive, while respecting your budget, needs and preferences, and your time and energy.
🧺 What to Bring
A journal/notebook + pen
Laptops are welcome if you prefer to type
A waterbottle
