Caring for others shouldn’t mean losing ourselves in the process. Join Kawtar El Alaoui for a practical exploration of the science of self-compassion, and discover how caring for ourselves can help us stay grounded, resilient and able to sustain our care for others.
When we’re committed to making a difference in our communities, it’s easy to put our own needs last. We give our time, energy and attention to others, often carrying the emotional weight of the challenges we encounter along the way. But how can we continue showing up for others without exhausting ourselves in the process?
In this interactive session, Kawtar El Alaoui will explore the science of self-compassion and why caring for ourselves is essential to sustaining our care for others.
Together, we’ll explore:
The science of self-compassion: What it really means, and why it’s different from self-indulgence or self-pity.
Recognizing emotional exhaustion: How to notice when we’re running low and respond to ourselves with greater kindness.
Setting healthy boundaries: How to honour our own needs without losing our sense of purpose or connection.
Practical tools for everyday life: Simple ways to stay grounded, restore our energy and build emotional resilience.
Whether you’re a community organizer, volunteer, caregiver or simply someone who wants to make a positive difference, this session is an opportunity to pause, reconnect with yourself and discover a more sustainable way to care.
