Cynthia welcomes you to Week 2 with some inspiring music to help us have some self-compassion. Head on over to Worship Summit for more worship tracks and dance moves, plus and embodied prayer practice!

Kristi is back with some moves to help you with self-compassion! Taking time for yoga and stretching can be a good part of self-care and relaxation.

Our very own Dr. Allyson gives us an inside look at her doctor's office and then tells us some things we can do to have better self-compassion (and she has some unexpected and fun ideas!).

Cynthia shows you some examples of God's love in nature and tells you how to find treasures in your own outdoor space.

Make dinner time more engaging for everyone by creating a “Family Dinner Conversation” jar. Decorate an old glass jar or box to make it feel special, and then sit down with your family and have everyone write down a few questions and conversation starters. Over dinner have your family take turns choosing a slip of paper from the jar and have fun laughing and learning more about each other as you answer silly questions and ponder different scenarios. Sharing with family is what dinner is all about!

Stress balls can help us release our feelings and give compassion to ourselves if we are feeling stressed. You can make your own right at home! 🎒Some supplies for this activity are in your Camper Kit.

Get the bright colored poster board that you got with your camper kit and grab some markers or other writing utensils. We're going to use the letters in your name to think about how God has made you special! Write your name down the page, and then think of a word that describes you starting with each letter in your name. If you're having a hard time, then you can watch Pastors Mary and Lindsay do theirs. 🎒Some supplies for this activity are in your Camper Kit.

If you haven't assembled and started coloring your mural yet, it's not too late! Once you have it taped together, see if you can find examples of our themes so far: being brave and showing compassion to self. Which scenes in the mural show those types of compassion? Find them and color them! 🎒 Some supplies for this activity were in your first Camper Kit.
