Over the past year, things have been shifting around the Be Your Own Beloved world.
Now, don’t worry…by no means am I changing my focus here. Quite the opposite in fact.
It’s been deepening.
I’ve been asking myself and exploring the answers, of what happens next.
What happens after we begin our selfie journey and show up for a while in front of the camera?
What happens after we find our voice that balances out our inner critics voice?
What happens when we find confidence in ourselves through the camera? How do translate it to our lives as a whole?
How do we really shift out of a place of self-critique and create a new normal of compassion for ourselves?
I’ve been pouring the realizations and even more questions into the manuscripts (yup, there are now 2 of them) that I’ve been working on these last few years.
And, as of this year, I’ve been pouring those answers into I’m uncovering into new photo prompts and new programs. We got started this January with the year long Body Peace Program and I don’t even know if I can find the words yet to share what happened in January, how I let this work deepen and definitely challenged the participants to show up even more in the process of offering themselves compassion and OMG did they ever. I was brought to tears numerous times by the realizations and self-compassion I saw.
There is one more new offering coming this year, the Lens of Love Program which is where we really dig into this new work. It’s feeling so much like the Masterclass of Be Your Own Beloved, the place where we really can help ourselves transition from a life of self-critique to creating a new normal for ourselves that is rooted in compassion.
I know, using selfies. That’s what makes me smile…cause selfies are seen as something that is ‘shallow’ or ‘self-centred’ and I’m in awe of how much it is the opposite, how much they can be a tool for self-connection and self-compassion.
I’m going to be sharing a lot more about Lens of Love coming up soon, but if you’d like to be the first to get a chance to apply for it, come on over and join the interest list!
