🦋This is your invitation to become more self-compassionate.

💕Self Compassion for Autistic Adults
Study Hub & Group Practice Space
with Melody Edwardson starts Feb 10th.

Course: Aspect Research Centre for Autism Practice - ARCAP Self-Compassion for Autistic Adults

Description: This group serves as a companion to the Aspect course and offers communal exploration of the concepts and practices of self-compassion and how we engage with and adapt these to suit our individual Autistic ways of being.

This is an online peer support space, not therapy.

🌱 Thriving Autistically 2025: Day 6-Session 1
Rested Autistic Wellbeing: Yoga Nidra with Melody Edwardson of Wellbeing Wise
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a deeply relaxing practice induced by guided meditation, where you simply rest in an altered state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. It’s a passive and effortless experience; no concentration is needed. For one hour, you’ll lie down in a comfortable space and simply follow the instructions to shift your awareness. It feels like 2+ hours of deep sleep. You may experience vivid colours, visual images, sounds, or a sensation of falling that some people find disturbing.
