2023 NORTH STAR ANNUAL CONFERENCE

BREAKOUT SESSION 3 | FRIDAY | 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM | WASATCH

HEALING SHAME THROUGH MINDFULNESS, SELF-COMPASSION, AND THE LIGHT OF CHRIST

The neuroplasticity of your brain is a God-given gift that is a key to healing from shame and cultivating self-compassion. You will learn how you can create new neural pathways in your brain through mindfulness practice and quieting your nervous system. You will learn how to do this in the context of Christ’s resurrection and His love for you, which are the only remedies for shame from sins and shortcomings.
