Feeling lost? This two-day workshop will help you rediscover who you truly are in three areas: Progress * Mindfulness * Motherhood.

Monica Packer is hosting this intensive workshop to help guide women towards rediscovering who they really are and better move towards to who they want to become. With Monica and guest teachers Kim Christenson and Rachel Nielson, participants will overcome what is holding them back from embracing their true selves in all things PROGRESS, MINDFULNESS, and MOTHERHOOD.

Forget being packed in like sardines at a speaking event! This is a real WORKshop where a small group of attendees will be equipped with instruction and tools that guide to more in-depth learning and real, actionable takeaways.

We are committed to creating an intimate environment where women can truly connect with each other, with the material, and with their inner selves. You will be expected to participate at a higher level, and as a result our goal is to promote exponential growth in those three areas.

See below to learn what is included in the workshop, what the classes will entail, the schedule, and more information about the host and guest teachers. The event will be held at a private home in Draper, UT, and the address will be supplied with the e-ticket.

WHAT DO THE CLASSES ENTAIL:

Day One:

*PROGRESS*

“Get Over Yourself: Ditch Perfectionism, Own Your Gifts, and Make Progress” by Monica Packer

Whether or not you are the stereotypical overachieving or the more-common underachieving perfectionist, the biggest obstacle to better discovering and embracing your unique gifts is YOU.

In this 4+hour workshop (with dinner in the middle!), Monica will teach what perfectionism really is, why it’s not a worthy trait, what damaging effects it’s taking, and how to overcome them so you can progress in building a life that is messier, yes, but a whole lot more fulfilling. You’ll leave with solid takeaways of what gifts you have to start with and the steps you’re going to take to start growing and moving forward to a better “you!”

Day Two: (Dress comfy–yes, the whole time!)

*MINDFULNESS*

“Simple Practices for a More Peaceful, Present, Fulfilling Life” by Kim Christenson

In our distracted, digital world, mindfulness is more important than ever. Kim’s two-hour class will help you learn what mindfulness is, why it’s so important, and how to easily incorporate it into your life and home.

This workshop will help you use mindfulness practices like expressive writing to process your feelings, ease anxiety and hone in on your true priorities. She’ll teach you mindset techniques to overcome negative thought patterns, access calmness during your most trying moments, and to discover and live your wildest dreams. Kim will share her tips for finding a mindful balance with the social media world and helping our kids learn to do the same. Kim will also lead a restorative yoga practice for ALL levels. Wear comfy clothes, and be ready to come away feeling calm, confident, and inspired.

*MOTHERHOOD*

“How to Be the Mom You ARE, Instead of the Mom You Think You Should Be” by Rachel Nielson

Rachel Nielson oftens jokes that she is not a counselor, but she has been to a lot of counseling. Shortly after she became a mother, she realized that she had deep-seated anxiety, guilt, and perfectionism that needed to be worked out with professional help. In the seven years since, she has come to truly love the woman that she is, instead of always pining after the woman that she wishes she “could be.”

In this two-hour class, Rachel will walk you through some of the most effective exercises that she has done with therapists, to help you identify your true gifts and passions, as well as your hidden shames and insecurities (and they are always different for every woman!). She will also lead you in a practical brainstorming session of how to “troubleshoot” the stressful areas of your life, so there’s more space for you to thrive. You will leave the class with an action plan for finding more authentic joy in your motherhood experience, by being more authentically YOU.

Rachel is obsessed with tangible takeaways and memorable stories–and you can be sure the class will be filled with both.
