Join us on May 20th
8-9:30 pm EDT
A live, interactive workshop to help animal welfare professionals + volunteers tap into Moments of Empathic Delight as a sustainable resource!
Â
Moments of joy + goodness aren’t trivial. They’re medicine.Â
They’re why we call them MEDs: Moments of Empathic Delight!Â
MEDs use the superpower of empathy to sustain us by intentionally noticing, savoring, and sharing in moments of joy, play, connection, and goodness.
Â
Join us for this LIVE workshop and together we'll:Â
- Explore why joy can sometimes feel complicated in this line of work and why it matters
- Experience a guided trauma-informed breathwork practice designed to help your body reconnect with joy and playfulness
- Reflect and write about moments at work that made you laugh or lit you up with gratitude
- Share our stories in small breakout groups with other animal people
- Practice a visualization to help those joyful moments land in your body and memory
- Write your Rx for your Minimum Effective Dose of Joy to take with you to work the next day.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, more connected, and reminded that joy still exists in this work (and in the world), and know that tapping into it can help you keep going in tough times.Â
