Over the next seven months\, we will embark on a transformative journey together! \n✨ Discover Your Inherent Value: Society often places expectations that can make those with chronic illnesses feel “less than.” This series encourages you to embrace your unique experience with Myositis\, shifting from feelings of inadequacy to owning your worth. \nCultivate Compassion: Learn to build a more compassionate relationship with your illness\, yourself\, and your body. We’ll explore how to listen to what your body needs and nurture yourself through moments of uncertainty. \n️ Gain Practical Tools: Move beyond fear\, despair\, and self-judgment. You’ll leave each session equipped with practices that guide you toward acceptance and presence\, empowering you to embrace how your body shows up each day. \nFormat: The first half of each session will feature a recorded presentation (recorded on speaker view with profile pictures hidden to protect anonymity). The latter half will open up to discussion\, providing a safe space for sharing and connection. \nJoin us on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment from September to March. Together\, we will shift our mindsets and foster a supportive community where we can thrive![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space] Register to Join on Zoom See Support Options[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row text_align=”center” text_color=”#fcfcfc” type=”color” bg_color=”#032643″ padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Upcoming support and education sessions” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”]See Upcoming Events[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
