Beyond Barbie: Touchy Topics: Loving Yourself: The Art of Self Care

The belief that taking care of oneself equals ”selfishness,” is an outdated notion that is no longer valid in the frantic contemporary world. In fact, self-care is essential for balance, happiness, and ultimately survival. This Beyond Barbie: Touchy Topics evening will focus on a different way to think about the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of self-care. Through poetry, dance, performance and audience participation, we will explore and refute the common obstacles that persuade women to put self-care at the bottom of their personal priority list. We will explain what self-care is and visualize achieving self-care as a first priority: the essential element needed to survive in today’s fast-moving and very complicated world.
