Practicing Self-Care from Home

Posted on by

“I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival.” – Audre Lorde

Seat at the Table (now Virtual Seat at Table) brings the Central Piedmont community together through conversation on the things important to us. Every Wednesday at 12:30pm, you will get the chance to spend time on yourself and listen to other folks on a different topic every week. You will also be able to access tools on how to best practice intentional self-care during these uncertain times.
