This is a nature based workshop in the gardens, forest and by the water, walking slowly (less than 1 mile total) on uneven ground at times, rain or shine.
This workshop is an invitation for those who have participated in our Ethics of Simple Self-Care in Nature -Day 1 workshop and are now ready to come back for a checkup. Just like an annual physical exam, we can check in with “the Doctor” to reassess our health and well-being, notice progress toward goals, and discuss experiences that have challenged us along the way, too. And just like your annual physical, this checkup can become a ritual too. Except in this scenario, you are the “Doctor” and not alone. We can do this together during Day 2, on retreat at ONE. Come, step off the busy treadmill of life to pause, drop in, and check in with yourself while earning six law and ethics credits too!
Like Ethics of Simple Self-Care in Nature Day 1, this workshop is retreat-style, nature-based, and very experiential. In our welcoming circle, we’ll begin the day by connecting, building community, and savoring the good company of colleagues. We’ve created the day to feel familiar, like coming home, including new invitations to experience increased self-awareness, learn new self-care practices, and develop deeper knowledge to help you meet the professional commitment and longing in your heart to take better care of you. Together, we will complete the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) and the Professional Self-Care Assessment as part of our annual checkup. If you kept our assessment measures from the Ethics of Simple Self Care in Nature Day 1 workshop, bring them! If you didn’t, no worries. You can trust your inner guide to know where you’ve been and where you are now. Remember… “How are you, how do you know?”
We’ll spend time in community and on our own as we sit spot on the land and by the water, to rest in awareness and write reflectively. We’ll explore new, simple self-care practices from nature therapy, mindfulness, and mindful self-compassion. All practices are evidence-based ways to activate the parasympathetic nervous system anytime, anyplace. All can be shared with clients to support their health and well-being.
We’ll briefly revisit research explaining why self-care is essential for healthcare providers and then get real about what has gotten in the way. With intention and respect, we’ll take a deeper dive into the ethics of practicing professional self-care through the collaborative Practice of Council. We’ll discuss challenges experienced and ethical dilemmas created by systems, socio-cultural contexts, personal values & beliefs, socio-economic factors, etc. In community, we’ll find ways to acknowledge, support, and problem-solve together.
Taking better care of oneself can be quite simple, but it is seldom easy, especially when caring for others. It means living mindfully, and that requires ongoing intention and attention to skill-building as well as giving and receiving support, encouragement, and holding oneself accountable, too. Mindful living is the mission of The ONE Center.
We hope you answer the call and come back to ONE to check in with ONEself and be in community with colleagues on a similar path of tending to ONE’s own health and well-being.
