Villages Wellness: Downsizing
with Karen Lievense

We all have possessions and relationships with them. But sometimes we feel at the mercy of our stuff, trapped by emotions, memories, and guilt.

        

We’ll look at our resistance to letting go of things, the benefits of downsizing, and how confronting fear and anxiety can shift to feeling empowered and free. You’ll leave with practical solutions to support the process of letting go and easy strategies to get started.
