“The workshop taught me a hands-on way to be kinder to myself. Lea guided us to draw ourselves, demonstrating a simple way to do it. Suddenly, with me literally on the page, I was able to open up to the ideas ~ mind, body, and spirit. It was wonderful to feel an instant infusion of affection, understanding, and compassion for myself.” ~ Kath B.

understanding isn't the same as feeling it
You already know the ideas. Maybe you've read the books, been in therapy, or even taught this stuff yourself. But knowing what self-compassion is and actually feeling it in a hard moment can be two very different things.
Love Yourself Now with Art Journaling is designed to close that gap. Through an easy art-journaling practice, you’ll move self-compassion out of your head and into your hands ~ something you can return to the next time understanding alone isn’t enough.
No fixing, no performing ~ just a chance to practice the thing you already believe.

“I just wanted to say thank you for the workshop ~ I loved it so much. You made the drawings so approachable. I recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to be kinder to themselves. I was actually hoping that I could get my kids to watch the replay with me. Thanks again, Lea ~ I can't wait to do another workshop with you!”

“It was such a gift to have this dedicated time to learn, draw, listen, and reflect. Lea encouraged us to be playful and experiment. This was important as I don't draw regularly and can be quick to judge myself. I really appreciate Lea's heart-centered approach. I can't help but smile when I look at my drawing from the workshop.”

If we haven't met yet, I'm Lea Seigen Shinraku, MFT, licensed therapist and self-compassion teacher.
Early in my career, I was struck by how many of my therapy clients struggled with self-judgment ~ and how hard it was to actually be kind to themselves, even after they understood the concept of self-compassion.Â
It became clear over time that there was a gap between the idea of self-compassion, and actually being kind to yourself in real life. Meditations and other reflective practices only seemed to go so far.
During Covid, I faced a significant loss that changed the way I understand self-compassion. What helped me through it was something unexpected ~ and I'll share that story live, in the workshop.
Through my work and experience, I've seen how effective and uplifting it can be when we approach self-judgment with a structured, creative approach rather than just wishing we were kinder to ourselves and not knowing what to do about it.
This workshop is designed to introduce that framework and help you approach self-judgment in a new, action-oriented way ~ by tapping into your creativity ~ so you can actually be kind to yourself in everyday life.
If you struggle with self-judgment, even after years of trying to be kinder to yourself, I'd love to have you join the workshop.
Warmly,
Lea
“The workshop was inspiring! You have a wonderful way of teaching on a topic that's hard for many of us. I have a tough time expressing my feelings and hold most of it inside. Thank you for providing a way to work through challenges in our lives and allow our feelings to be heard. Your kindness and true care were felt today.” ~ Ginger R.
