This nurturing, retreat-like space will support you in creatively engaging with self-compassion poetry. Rather than simply reading poems, you'll get to know them more deeply and more fully receive their wisdom. You'll do this through art journaling ~ a form of creative self-compassion. Together we'll explore how making marks on a page translates into finding more courage and self-compassion in everyday life so that you can find more freedom from self-judgment.

Poetry is for everyone and art journaling is for everyone, too! You don't need any special skills or supplies for the Poems That Love You Workshop. You just need something to write and draw with, and something to write and draw on. I will be using watercolors, and you may like to have some to use, too. But they are not necessary. Coming as you are, in the present moment, is the most important thing.❤️
hello
I'm glad you're here
I'm Lea Seigen Shinraku, licensed therapist, self-compassion teacher, artist and 20+ year Zen practitioner. I've taught self-compassion classes for over 10 years. I know the pain of self-judgment, and I know that freedom is possible, too. Self-compassion has transformed my life and the lives of hundreds of my students. I'm here to help you find this freedom, too. Poetry and art journaling are gateways to healing, and they are central to my self-compassion teaching and everyday practice. Nothing means more to me than helping people accept themselves and express themselves creatively. If you struggle with self-judgment and you want more joy, confidence, and creativity in your life, I hope you'll join me for this uplifting workshop!

I like to make thoughtful decisions, too.
I know that these past two years have been really hard. And you’re probably exhausted and looking for some comfort and relief. You also may have noticed that when you’re going through hard times, the inner critic gets louder. We can feel like relief and comfort aren't allowed.
It can seem like we shouldn’t do “frivolous” things.
But really, it’s during tough times when we need to give ourselves moments of joy and play wherever we find them.
It’s so important to have space where we can remind ourselves that nothing can take away our power to create and to appreciate what we find beautiful.
When I turn to poetry or to my art journal, it’s not as a way to escape from the tough things in life. It’s a way to remind myself that joy and beauty and play co-exist with pain and grief.
I’d love to be your guide and show you what the combination of self-compassion, poetry and creativity can do. In the Poems That Love You Workshop, we’ll explore this together, and practice finding joy and comfort right where we are. ❤️
