The Wellness Compass: Workbook for Adults
The Wellness Compass Workbook for Adults is a self-guided resource that offers a step-by-step guide for adults who are feeling inspired in their journey of growth and change and are looking for support and guidance as they seek greater wellness and balance in eight areas of well-being.
The Adult Self Assessment consists of eighty statements, ten for each of the eight different areas of wellness: care for the body, spirituality, relationships, stress resilience, organization, rest and play, work/school, and handling emotions.
The intent is to help adults observe where things stand for them now, and help them determine if there is an area of wellness to which they would like to pay more attention. Through self-assessments in each of these areas, participants will learn to set SMART-Step goals and map their personal journeys of growth and transformation.
Local experts will lead sessions on somatic meditation, sound baths, trauma-informed yoga, nutrition, art therapy, biofield tuning, tapping, and more. These hands-on activities are designed to provide tangible takeaways and easy-to-integrate tools for participants to use along their wellness journeys.
In addition to the activity, instructors will provide practical tips and strategies for incorporating the practice at home, empowering individuals to continue their wellness journey independently and apply what they've learned in their own time and space.
