Mothering Authentically Virtual Retreat April 18, 2010
Give yourself permission to spend 4 weeks with us as we journey toward living authentically and mothering authentically. This online course is filled with self discovery, inspiring lessons, audio conversations, real stories and hands on activities that will help you in discovering your beautiful, genuine self.
Although we may have our ideals of the “perfect mother,” she really does not exist. Each of us brings our own unique strengths to the job of mothering, and good mothers come in many styles. In this course you will take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to gain a better understanding of your personality type. We will then apply this information to your job as a mother so that you gain a more objective and realistic picture of your strengths, struggles, and needs as a mother. So you can discover your true self!
This 4 week course will include:
- Completion of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator to determine your mothering style
- Twice-weekly writing exercises
- Weekly videos from Amelia
- Group connecting on the private discussion boards
- Weekly optional photo/collage/scrap booking assignments - no prior experience needed!
Each week you’ll be given a writing assignment that focuses one aspect of your personality and how that influences your mothering style. As you complete each assignment you will uncover another layer of your mothering style while exploring your authentic preferences.
The writing exercises are designed to encourage greater self-awareness. Some of the assignments and exercises you’ll find quite easy, others you may find more challenging - the aim is to help you really see yourself and begin to identify your authentic mothering style. By the end of the course tell your story so that by the end of the course you’ll have a new appreciation for your unique mothering style. If you opt for the additional photography/collage/scrap booking assignments you’ll also have a set of images that provide a fascinating insight into who you truly are.
Give yourself permission to take a couple of hours out of your week to devote solely to YOU; this isn’t self-indulgence, this is nurturing, nourishing soul time!
