Embracing the Real Me
Six week series free from cost, stress, and exams.
New term, new you! In this new beginning, take a journey into asking: Who am I? How do I strip away the layers and uncover the original me? Why am I here? What would it look like for me to live authentically in a world that isn’t always supportive of my true self? How can I motivate myself with kindness?
A chance to find support with other travelers on the path who are asking similar questions. Try a variety of mindfulness practices and experiment with integrating them into your daily life.
Series will include weekly 50 minute workshops with interactive group exercises, mindfulness exercises to practice daily, a meeting with a staff coach, and self-awareness and creative activities.
- Week 1: Who Am I? (Journey to an undivided life)
- Week 2: Showing Up: finding freedom to be who you are
- Week 3: From Self-Criticism to Self-Kindness
- Week 4: Being Enough: motivating myself from love instead of self-criticism
- Week 5: Recognizing My Sufficiency - gifts, qualities and capabilities
- Week 6: Life Purpose: What is calling me? What am I passionate about?
Watch Samidha describe her experience in the series.
The Becoming Yourself series is funded by Student Open Circles and is open to post-secondary students at no cost.
"For me, Open Circle’s Becoming Yourself Series allowed me to pause and reflect on some very important questions around who I am, what my values are, and how I enact and would like to enact them in my daily life. More importantly, it reminded me that I am not alone in my journey and I am not alone in my courage—we are all connected by our shared humanity." (Participant)
