True Self-Care

What does self-care look like for you? We are conditioned to associate self-care with bubble baths and time at the spa. (Fill in the blank with whatever you tend to think of as a treat when you’ve been stressed.)

True self-care invites inquiry into who the self in self-care is. This inquiry doesn’t negate the bubble bath—it invites deeper questions that support us in finding care that is sustainable rather than fleeting.

Join us as we explore finding the version of self-care that we can rely on, no matter the circumstances of our lives. Join us as we explore, together, through the lens of relational dharma and within the container of beloved community. 

All are welcome. And by all, we mean all.

Testimonial

“Each time I attend an offering of Caverly’s, I walk away with both a greater conceptual understanding of the topic at hand and, happily, a deepened experiential understanding of it as well. That has become my benchmark for where to invest my time, does the work transport me to a place of integrated and embodied understanding? I’m so grateful for the learning container created by Caverly and her team and can sense their alignment with each other through the energy of the work they provide. From the helpful communication via email, to the smooth and thorough session design, to the heartfelt intention of love that comes through it all.”

—Patton, Leadership Consultant and Facilitator, June 2025 in-House Workshop, The World Is Not Broken

These times call for collective care, collective solidarity, and collective practice. This workshop is an opportunity to gather and connect, to heal and replenish, and to cultivate, together, the light of awareness—an ever-expansive light that we are all in need of right now.

Being Resourced for These Times is an invitation to explore, in community, contemplative technologies meant to benefit you personally, and beyond—understanding that our world changes when they are applied collectively.  As Thich Nhat Hanh once predicted, “the next Buddha may be a Sangha” (aka, community of people who practice together.)

Join us as, personally and together, we explore an understanding of presence that is inherently nourishing and connected—and the brilliance that comes from acting in the world on behalf of this luminous knowing.  

What You Can Look Forward To:

1. Teachings and Guided Meditations: Engage in insightful teachings and guided meditations to deepen your understanding and experience of relational dharma and how to resource in these times.

2. Tools and Practices: Learn simple, powerful and accessible tools to both deepen your personal practice and extend practice into the world.

3. Dyads and Group Discussions: Connect with fellow participants through structured dyads and open group discussions, fostering a supportive community.

4. Journaling: Reflect on your experiences and insights through an opportunity to give language to your direct experience.

Testimonials

“Caverly is a loving wise teacher who has done her work. She contains multitudes, presenting to the practitioner the lesson called for in the moment, be it gentle or firm. The strength and agility with which she engages in this dance of loving awareness is beautiful to behold. She is a lioness and I am so grateful for her work!”

—Rosie, Teacher

“I am profoundly moved and changed by my time with Caverly and her work. She is a gifted teacher and listener, and able to quickly and effortlessly get to the heart of a person, a moment, a discussion, a problem, or the dynamics of our world. Her guidance and teachings helped me make sense of things I have been grappling with for most of my life, and I left my time with her with a new and deep confidence in how I show up in the world.”

-Emily, writer and filmmaker

We forget that belonging is already seated in the heart of who we are — and that it’s always available if only we look within. When we do, we can transform far more than just our own lives.

Ask yourself these questions:

• Have you ever touched this peace, this contentment, this deep return to belonging but then feared losing this experience?

• Have you ever struggled because you recognized the world around you did not reflect this experience of your true nature?

These questions will guide our time together as we explore how meditation, mindfulness, and contemplative technologies can — and must — be applied collectively. Our guided meditations will serve as a framework onto which we will begin to weave teachings with personal reflections. You will have the opportunity to connect to yourself, others, and the world beyond in solo and group exercises and discussions that inspire us to put our values into action.

Join us in this return to belonging — this remembering of the deepest truth of who we are — with the intention of using this understanding to transform our own lives and the world we share.

• Clarify your understanding of who you truly are versus who you’ve been conditioned to be.
