Workshop on understanding self

 

Counsellor Judith Weaver, proprietor of Doorways to Healing at Woy Woy, will run a workshop on November 17 for those who to want to increase their self-understanding.

The workshop aimed "to increase our self knowing, to build our inner resources to juggle and manage the demands and compromises of life while helping us move closer toward inner calm and happiness", she said.

Judith said that "sometimes life can seem too hectic to commit oneself to a period of self reflection or self discovery through counselling".

"A workshop can often help us unlock a door to self awareness that then enables us to find our own answers within."

Judith said she believed people were interested in learning about themselves.

"The aim of counselling or personal development is to bring you to a place that's calmer, peaceful and considerate; a place where you can review various options in your life.

"Everyone needs to find meaning in their life.

"Some look to religion, some look to science and medicine for the magic pill.

"Some will find the answer within themselves.

"Happiness and life's meaning are inner feelings.

"They are attitudes of how we view ourselves and our place in life.

"Happiness is a goal for which we strive.

"Inner happiness is a process of evolution, not an overnight miracle," she said.
