Finding Home Within: A Compassionate Adventure

In this 2-hour workshop, we will learn practical self-compassion tools to listen to ourselves, meet our inner experience with kindness, and explore shared experiences through gentle somatic exercises.

Together, we will examine what resilience means to us, how it shows up in our daily lives, and what supports it when we feel stressed or depleted. We will then connect with an “inner friend” or supportive inner voice that can offer strength in difficult moments, and learn simple ways to nurture this capacity over time.

No prior meditation or self-compassion experience is required, and no preparation is needed. Please wear comfortable clothing and come ready to be fully present for the full two hours.

Anyone 18+ years is welcome to join who can understand and communicate in English.

The location is called 'Kansalais Toiminnankeskus' and is close to Ainoa shopping mall and Heikkintori in Tapiola. We will be using the 4th floor and it can be accessed via the stairs or elevator.

See the image of the building below for refence. If you get lost or need help finding the space, please contact Hope at 0442359662
