What we’re about
What does it mean to Love yourself?
All meetings are currently via Zoom and FREE.
Each meeting is an open discussion amongst participants - either sharing or listening...above all we share a space that is welcoming and accepting without judgement.
This group has existed for about 10yrs. The organizer recently moved to Denver.
The goal is for each and every participant to learn something about how to Love themselves...and, in so doing, feel happier and more joyful!
By Loving ourselves completely and unconditionally, we can discover and experience true happiness and joy. As we learn to Love ourselves, we begin to 'awaken' to the essence of our existence. We learn to shed the expectations society has placed on us (Ego), and we grow to understand our own and others' inherent worth and beauty.
The modality of this group is similar to group therapy. It incorporates principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy, Meditation, and secular Spirituality. All people, all issues, all beliefs are welcome! Our regular attendees have a mix of secular and non-secular belief systems.
Learning TO Love ourselves is generally taught by discussing how we are NOT loving ourselves. Below are examples and clues which open the door to the ideas.
Why should you attend?
- Have you taken the ACEs test?
- Were you severely punished as a child?
- Did you witness scary things as a child?
- Does your partner know everything about you or do you have a lot of secrets?
- Do your children overwhelm you?

Topic: Healthy Relationships
Topic: Codependency
Hi everyone,
During this month's weekly meetings, we’ll be diving into another important topic: Codependency. Are you codependent? How would you know? How does codependency make you the ideal target for narcissistic abuse?

We'll break it down into four stages over as many weeks, each with key takeaways:
***- Understanding Codependency & Reclaiming the Self
Participants will learn the foundational definition of codependency, how it forms, and how it shows up in relationships; healing modalities will include psychoeducation, guided self-reflection journaling, and somatic grounding exercises to begin reconnecting with the authentic self.
2) Boundaries as Self-Love
This session explores how setting and maintaining boundaries supports self-worth and emotional regulation; modalities include role-playing boundary-setting scenarios, parts work (e.g., IFS), and group discussion on internal resistance to asserting needs.
3) From People-Pleasing to Personal Power
Group members will identify their own people-pleasing patterns and explore the roots of low self-esteem; healing tools will include inner child work, guided visualization, and expressive arts to honor and reclaim suppressed desires and needs.
4) Embodying Change and Building Interdependent Relationships
The final session focuses on integrating insights and practicing healthier relational dynamics; modalities will include a compassion-focused meditation, paired partner dialogues, and creation of personal action plans for ongoing self-advocacy and relational balance.

Looking forward to sharing stories, strategies, and strength this week. You’re not alone — and you’re more powerful than you think. 💬🧠❤️
