Make Space For Joy Workshop

All of us have full lives – whether by necessity or choice. Some have more ‘free time’ than others. But as long as we are in a ‘safe-enough’ state, we can all make space for joy.

I don’t think this is easy. Like most valuable things in this world, it takes practice, commitment, and focus. But while you grow your ‘joy-muscle’ over time, as you practice, you can begin to make space for joy starting today.

You don’t have to wait for ideal circumstances, for life to feel easier or tidier. You don’t have to earn your right to feel joy – you have every right to experience joy right now, exactly who and how you are.

Joy is not a reward; it’s a gift that we can choose to receive or not. It is also a pathway to freedom and when we give ourselves permission to feel joy, we fill up and pour out good things into the world.

It is not selfish; joy both grows in community (in particular in how we care for each other) and it is essential for building healthy relationships, families, and communities.

If you are ready to make space for joy in your body and life, I invite you to join me for my new workshop. I offer it as part of an ongoing conversation and exploration about joy.

Not to tell you the answers for your life (you are the expert on your body and life!) or in two-hours to tell you all the things that can help you expand your capacity to be with joy and all the ways you can make space for joy. But to invite you to show up for yourself in this small way. The act of showing up for this workshop is, in and of itself, one possible way to make space for joy in your life.

We often say we want things but don’t make space for them. We don’t open up our minds, hearts, or bodies to the experience because it feels risky and vulnerable and the status quo seems safer.

We don’t express our core values in our spending patterns, lifestyle choices, or on our calendar. We don’t rest even though our bodies and souls are crying out to be heard. We fill our lives to the brim with noise, ‘shoulds,’ or in trying to measure up and keep up. But we do not find freedom, wholeness, or joy here.

buy the joy workshop if…

• You are a curious and growth-minded person (or growing into this) and you want to make a positive impact in the world – in your family, your circle (size does not matter), or community. You want to pour out in a meaningful and healthy way.
• You want simple, accessible ideas that can help you make space for joy in your regular day. It’s not fairy dust. It’s about small, intentional habits and practices, choosing where your focus goes, and showing up with consistency in every season.
• You have dabbled in joy but crave a richer, more deeply rooted and embodied experience of joy, and you want to feel fully alive from your toes to your crown.
• You’re tired of living chronically anxious about the next bad thing that lies around the bend and deferring joy/happiness/pleasure/wellbeing. You want to learn how (or to know that it’s possible even) to make space for joy amid the messiness of life.

WOW! I got so much out of this. Maybe because I am now more in the mid-life era, maybe because I am going through somewhat of a life transition, but I got so many great nuggets out of this. I loved the main areas you addressed – body, mind, heart, soul/spirit. Structuring it this way made a lot of sense to me and helped me realize I may be utilizing joy in one area but not others. Thank you!
