Join us for a workshop on Boundaries & Beliefs at A Sacred Sanctuary

Do you have a hard time saying no, do you often feel disrespected, do you constantly take care of others, do you feel burnt out, struggle to have your own opinion…these are all outcomes derived from a lack of healthy boundary setting.

‘Boundaries are compassion in action’ -Nirajamani, Why? Because some behaviors are harmful to others and to yourself, so they therefore require action. 

The key to healthier relationships is innerstanding how to establish boundaries. Boundaries are expectations and needs in different areas of human experience that help a person feel safe and comfortable in their relationships.

Fundamentally there are 7 types of boundaries. We will discuss each one and provide examples on how & why to set each one.

• Intellectual boundaries: Preferences related to how opinions, thoughts, and conversational topics are shared and addressed.
• Emotional boundaries: What, where, and how much a person shares their emotional life and how your own and others’ emotional needs are handled.
• Sexual boundaries: How sexual matters are talked about, when, where, and how sexual material is presented, and consent related to sexual or sexually suggestive words, jokes, images, gestures, or touch.
• Time boundaries: How you relate to your own and others’ time and how time-related needs and preferences are treated.
• Material boundaries: Treatment of possessions and property, preferences and needs regarding possessions and property and how possessions and property are shared.
• Physical boundaries: Physical body, personal space as experienced through your senses and preferences for respect, privacy, closeness, and touch.

A person with healthy boundaries can say “no” to others when they want to, but are also comfortable opening themselves up to
intimacy and close relationships.

A person who always keeps others at a distance (whether emotionally, physically, or otherwise) is said to
have rigid boundaries. Alternatively, someone who tends to get too involved with others has porous
boundaries.

During the workshop we will cover the following material in general:

• What are boundaries?
• How to set healthy boundaries
• Examples of healthy boundaries
• Personal and emotional boundaries
• Exercises to practice setting healthy boundaries
• Beliefs and how they shape our boundary setting ability or lack thereof

Boundaries are interpersonal limits shaped by personality, culture, context, beliefs, & trauma.

Boundaries & Beliefs are built upon the same foundation typically; therefore, we will discuss our belief system in general and what roll it plays in our boundary setting practice.

Join us in a non-judgmental/safe environment where together we will discuss and practice healthy boundary setting skills so that we may all live our greatest & healthiest lives. No experience necessary for this one lol.

Come as you are with an open heart & mind and maybe you will leave a better human being.
