Greetings Self Care Explorers!
Our theme this month is BOUNDARIES! What better way to build on last month’s theme of resetting and preparing for the rest of the year, than by focusing on how to make things happen. Boundaries are our tools to shape how we interact with ourselves and the rest of the world. We’re thinking about all the layers of relationships we have in this world, from the one we have with ourselves and working our way out to the relationships we have with strangers.
Our self-discovery questions this month are: What boundaries do I have that are not being held? What boundaries do I want to set? How can I best support myself in holding my boundaries?
Our breathwork/movement this month is a mindfulness practice of feeling our boundaries and edges of our bodies, of grounding to ourselves and the spaces around us.
If you have time to watch the video this month, that’s what I’ll be talking about. Everything’s optional though, so don’t feel like you have to do everything!
Some reminders and new information:
We’re having a social hang out!
Come join me and whoever shows up for a chill informal social event on Saturday, September 17th, from 11am-12pm CT.
Here’s the Facebook event page with the details.
Our meeting is on September 24th from 12-2pm CT. Zoom will be open from 11:45pm CT so you can come early to get set up, chat, and hang out so we can start right on time.
Please arrive on time or you’ll have to wait to enter until we take our break near the middle of the call. Based on the vote we took, no one will be allowed into the meeting after the 10 minute mark until we break around the halfway point.
This month you’ll need something to write on and with, but don’t worry. No one else will see it unless you choose to share with the them. Other than that, just bring a comforting drink and/or snack, some cozy clothes, and yourself!
Time: Sep 24, 2022 12:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

We’ll be using when2meet.com to schedule our meeting dates and times. This is a free service, but there are sometimes ads on the page. You do not need to pay for anything when you access the link above. Here are basic instructions to fill out the scheduler.
Click the link to go to the When2Meet page with our calendar options for next month.
Enter your name and an optional password if you want to be able to come back and edit your availability. I recommend this.
Click ‘sign in’ and it will show you the scheduler. Be sure to check your time zone and make sure it’s correct for you. It will show you a selection of dates, divided by the hour, where you can fill in your availability.
To fill in your available times for our meeting, simply click on the little rectangles that divide up the hours. You can fine tune your available times by 15 minute increments. Select all the times that you would be available for our call. Do not select any times where you would not be available.
You will see the group’s availability on the right side of the screen, and can take a look at when the most overlap is. We will select our meeting time based on when the majority of people are available at the same time. Please fill the scheduler out asap so we can confirm the next meeting time and people can block their calendars.
