“My dream is a movement with such deep trust that we move as a murmuration, the way groups of starlings billow, dive, spin, dance collectively through the air—to avoid predators, and, it also seems, to pass time in the most beautiful way possible.” – adrienne maree brown
August 25: Set Boundaries, Find Peace - Nedra Glover Tawwab
If this is a topic that interests you, join us for discussion – no reading required.
We’ll arrive together with a slow asana practice and then share snacks and conversation.
Together, we’ll discuss where we might need boundaries in our lives and relationships; what examples of boundaries we’ve witnessed in our friends and families; and how to take the steps toward understanding our own needs. The book will serve as a conversation guide.
About the book (from publisher):
Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them--in order to achieve work/life balance, cope with toxic people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do "healthy boundaries" really mean--and how can we successfully express our needs, say "no," and be assertive without offending others?
Licensed counselor, sought-after relationship expert, and one of the most influential therapists on Instagram Nedra Glover Tawwab demystifies this complex topic for today's world. In a relatable and inclusive tone, Set Boundaries, Find Peace presents simple-yet-powerful ways to establish healthy boundaries in all aspects of life. Rooted in the latest research and best practices used in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), these techniques help us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology--and unravel a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.
The session will be guided by Tanya Reynolds, CYT-200, a graduate of Abide’s yoga teacher training and lifelong lover of reading and community (and always snacks).
Reading the book ahead of time is not required for attendance. Please check your local library, independent bookstore or friends’ bookshelves for copies of the reading.
