In this workshop we will be joined by Rachel Wyartt and Priya Shah from Killti (Finnish for kindness), an organisation who provide personal development training using the power of kindness.
This session is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of stress, its physiological and psychological effects on the body and the empowering influence of kindness in alleviating stress. By the end of the session, participants will have gained practical tools for stress reduction and kindness promotion, contributing to enhanced physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
Aims of the session
The session will be dedicated to understanding stress, covering its definition, manifestations and exploring its impact on the body both mentally and physically. Following this, we will define kindness, examining its various forms and positive impacts on overall health.
We will then explore the interplay between kindness and stress, shedding light on how kindness serves as a potent countermeasure. This will be followed by sharing how you can build a toolkit for stress reduction with kindness, incorporating practical strategies and exercises for integration into daily routines.
At the end of the session we will open up for question and answer for the opportunity for the group to discuss and share personal insights and experiences.
The session will conclude with a recap of the key takeaways and motivating participants to develop their own action plans for stress reduction and self-kindness. In closing, participants will leave the workshop armed with a holistic understanding of stress, an enhanced appreciation for the transformative effects of kindness, and a tailored toolkit to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and compassion.
