The Science of (Self-)Love

Beyond romance, love is the foundation of how we relate - to friends, family, and our own inner voice. Many of us show care for others but struggle to extend the same kindness toward ourselves. This workshop combines gentle yoga, breathing, and neuroscience, introspection, pair- and group activities to explore how compassion transforms our inner dialogue and relationships. It also explores the science of love and compassion, guiding participants through practices that nurture self-acceptance, empathy, and deeper, healthier connections within the community.

You’ll explore:

• The basics of (neuro)science behind love and compassion.
• How to apply non-violent communication with ourselves - replacing judgment with acceptance.
• How to practice gentle conscious movement and breathwork for emotional balance and self-care.
• Mantras like “I suffer, please help” and “I know you suffer, I’m here for you” to foster mutual care and love (including journalling)

Join us to nurture self-love and build bridges of kindness in the community.
