Discover the Mandala of Self,
a reflective and experiential workshop
inspired by Virginia Satir’s model
Join us to Discover the Mandala of Self, a reflective and experiential workshop inspired by Virginia Satir’s model. Together with Valérie Lacroix, Registered Psychotherapist, we will explore the interconnected dimensions that shape who we are, including our physical, emotional, intellectual, relational, sensory, spiritual, and contextual selves. Facilitated by a presentation and creative exercise, participants will be invited to create their own Mandala of Self and reflect on areas of strength, balance, growth, and connection. No artistic experience is required—only curiosity and a willingness to explore. Join us for a meaningful opportunity to deepen self-awareness and connect with yourself in a new way.
