Presented by Tara McKinney
When love hurts, we tend to contract by avoiding feeling, rehearsing stories, becoming effects of life rather than active participants in it. This 2-hour online workshop guides women through embodied practices, breath work, movement, self-reflection, and group witness to meet love’s pain in a way that feels expansive and empowering. Participants leave with a felt experience of their power to choose what love means to them and a replicable path to practice embodying their staying power with their true selves, whether life’s weather is stormy or full of sunshine.
Pen and paper are preferred for the self-reflection exercises

Tara McKinney holds an M.Div. and B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, an M.S. in Development Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, and more than 600 hours of training in Ayurveda, yoga, and trauma-informed embodied wellness practice, alongside years of faith-based service and formation work across the US, Ireland, and seven countries in Africa.
Her work is grounded in her own story: years of faith-filled over-giving, identity wrapped in service, a body communicating depletion she was trained to override, until the imbalances demanded a different way. What she found was a redefinition of faith in action: instead of being understood first and foremost as what is given "out there," it's the ongoing tending of emotion management that makes it possible to discern clearly where and how one is being guided to serve, personally and professionally. That tending is now the way she accompanies others.
