Yarning Circle 4:  Looking After Ourselves – Our Way

The fourth yarning circle talks about how important self-care is, but that ‘looking after yourself’ can seem impossible at times.  Self-care is not selfish, and there is no shame in taking a break. With the right support and tribe by your side we can learn away to help guide and lessen the load. The first step is knowing you deserve that. This yarn helps us think about our own health, and why caregiver wellbeing and staying connected to what grounds us is essential to growing strong and deadly children, families, and communities. We share stories and think about what works for you and how you can do small things to look after ourselves-our way.
