Description
“How can you take care of them when you cannot even take care of yourself?”
– Robert Fisher, The Knight in Rusty Armor
When we are engaged in the care of others’ souls, it is vital that we make time to nourish our own. Each individual holds personal responsibility for this, and as givers in the world we can enhance our work and relationship with others by engaging in the exploration of our inner self and outer practices. Soul nourishment and self-care are developed through both process and practice. Deep nourishment doesn’t happen by simply reading a self-help book or taking a sabbatical once every five years. Care needs to be infused within us, until it becomes as natural as breathing. Just as breath nourishes and keeps life flowing, self-care allows us to deeply nurture our personal mind, body and spirit. Through this practice, we are better equipped to offer unhindered care and compassion to those we encounter in our work and the world. Self-care is an essential practice and one we must inherently live in order to unconditionally give.
During this six week guided online course, we will explore and live the essential practices of soul nourishment and self-care -- principles that are the cornerstone of caring for others. The course will be presented through a combination of didactical information and experiential activities and practices. It is designed to move through a self-care matrix that will allow you to enhance and nurture your own practice while simultaneously developing skills to share with and benefit those in your care and the larger world.

Praise for "Live it to Give it"
“Live it to Give it” was a turning point for me in understanding the positive impact my self-care has on those around me. It’s not so easy to embrace a “self centered” life when your upbringing has instilled a care-giver lifestyle.
Kayce helped all of us on the weekly calls, to surrender to the inner voice that calls for rest from the non-stop ministry and freedom to choose a peace that passes all understanding…at the very moments they are needed the most! Only then, I learned, can we bring true healing to others after our own war wounds have been tended to.
Kayce encouraged honest conversations among all who attended and created a format of learning what it means to self–care in a way that acknowledged our call as healer, minister, priestess, counselor, while at the same time, knowing how and when to stop and be still. Not an easy task when the voice that has lead us for a lifetime keeps repeating… Give, Give,Give,Give.
For anyone in the healing ministry, this class will teach you the pure beauty of administering the kind of self –care needed to free us to bring our gifts of healing to the world, while at the same time maintaining our strength, happiness and joy. - Colleen Hannegan (business owner, parent, mate)
If someone wants to slow down and look within, listening to the still small voice, and learn so many big and little ways of taking deep real care, and have community to support and encourage and witness, sign up as soon as possible! —JoAnn Heiser
This was a life-giving experience … Both instructor and class were excellent —Cindy Serio
I loved this class – I was so ready for it! The biggest impact for me was up until this class I couldn't even think about the concept of self-care and that it was okay. I came in willing and tried new things which I now love. I look forward to exploring this more so I can live it and give it. Kayce was a great facilitator, I appreciated her personal experiences, listening skills, open love and support. —DC
I feel the class was well worth my time and effort. Kayce not only knew the material; she has lived it. —Jean Keith-Altemus
Kayce did a wonderful job getting to know each person from a distance. That distance overtime became an intimate sharing group. She encouraged each of us very gently and was able to hit the true spot needing to be hit. Her honesty and authenticity is very appreciated…a model! —Laurel Simon
I leave these weeks centered, full of gratitude and wonder . . .thank you! It was a beautiful experience to be able to share our journey together! —BW
