Setting Healthy Boundaries & Communicating with Compassion

IDEAL FOR: All levels including beginners 

Personal boundaries are guidelines or limitations that we create to define safe and permissible ways for other people to behave towards us, as well as how we will respond when a person breaches those limits. The skills of identifying our boundaries and communicating them compassionately are essential for building trusting relationships and supporting our overall emotional health. In this two hour workshop, we’ll discover practical tools to become aware of our body’s signals, identify our boundaries, and become responsive versus reactive.  

We will explore: 

• The signals our bodies might give us when someone has pushed past our limits 
• Tools to calm our nervous systems, so that we can be aware of these breaches without being emotionally reactive 
• Why it’s important for humans to understand their boundaries and respect the boundaries of others 
• Cultivating our agency, empowerment, and confidence 
• How to communicate compassionately and clearly 

• How to listen deeply and reflect our understanding of someone’s perspective while still honoring our own
