UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

First, Love You 

May 19 or 23, 9 am until 5 pm, Triple Play Farm in Davidson, North Carolina

Are you ready to fall in love with life because you have finally fallen in love with yourself?

Are you ready to be energized by who you are and what you have to offer?

Are you ready to give the world your gifts because you are no longer distracted by what you perceive as your flaws?

Then, it is time for First, Love You.

Imagine You:

  •     CONFIDENT- able to bloom because you have finally embraced your essential truth.
  •     COMPASSIONATE- armed with the tools, after a day of working with horses and with yourself, to honor yourself in the same way you have always honored others.
  •      INSPIRED- to live your full expression so that you may inspire others.
  •     AUTHENTIC- unafraid to embrace who you are and open to the transformation authenticity brings.
  •     VIBRANT- ready to take your newfound knowledge out into the world to live your passion and purpose.

Spend the day at First, Love You: a soul-warming retreat where you will connect with an intimate group of dedicated women (the group will be no larger than six), learning tricks and tools- from horses and humans- that unleash your authenticity, honor who you are and what you are meant to give to this world, and give valuable insight on how to move forward in self-acceptance.

This retreat includes equine-facilitated learning with Triple Play Farm’s compassionate and compelling herd.  You will also be guided in contemplative and creative self-awareness and self-acceptance exercises. You will experience what it feels like to be held up to be your best self in a relaxing environment and supported with a delicious light breakfast, gourmet lunch, and afternoon snack provided by Nikki Moore of Food Love, a Triple Play Farm t-shirt, and a signed copy of Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self-Acceptance.

There are just 6 spots available at each First, Love You retreat.

visionSPROUT

June 16th from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, Triple Play Farm in Davidson 

If visionSPARK was all about claiming your vision, then visionSPROUT is all about making it happen. You’ll start the visionSPROUT experience with a pre-SPROUT playbook that will help you declare celebrations and identify sticking points. At visonSPROUT, you’ll reclaim what maters to you, receive guidance on how to live what you want and let go of the rest, and you will leave with tools, tips, and newfound energy for your unique journey.

*This workshop is a private event for this year’s visionSPARK attendees only.

 Girl Power Camp 

June 18-22 at Triple Play Farm in Davidson

Want your daughter to learn self-awareness, self-confidence and self-acceptance? Would she love doing it by working with horses and through creative activities? Designed for girls ages 10-14, Girl Power camp combines groundwork and mounted activities with the farm’s gentle therapy horses and lessons in confidence, leadership, teamwork and self-awareness.

Right in the Middle 

August 15th from 9 am until 12 pm or 6 pm until 9 pm in Charlotte 

Right in the Middle is a fun, 3-hour workshop for girls in rising 6th and 7th grades, and their moms. Join us for tips, insights, and solutions to managing the middle school social scene. We’ll deal with changing friendships, boys, gossip, parties, bullies, body image, and being true to yourself. Without an understanding of how to manage this new social landscape, girls can easily become overwhelmed or distracted, and success in school, not to mention self-esteem, suffers. This event is led by middle school expert Michelle Icard, creator of Athena’s Path & MichelleintheMiddle.com, with special presentations by Rosie Molinary, author of Beautiful You, and Melisa Holmes, co-founder of Girlology.

EVENTS YOU CAN BOOK

10 Truths for Your Self-Acceptance Journey

Everyday, we perpetuate non-inclusive body and beauty ideals that limit our possibilities. It is time for women of all colors, sizes, and ethnicities to confront the boxes they are placed in by themselves and others and create worldviews that are expansive and empowering. This powerful, interactive workshop reveals ten powerful lessons about journeying to self-acceptance and the tools that can help make anyone more self-accepting. Participants will be inspired to live with purpose, challenged to forego self-defeating tendencies, and encouraged to champion all women.  Frank discussion about idealized beauty standards and our buy-in will help women build their media literacy and escape the stranglehold of idealized beauty so that we can concentrate our energies on using our skills and experiences to improve our world.

beautiful you. the celebration: A 90 minute to 2 hour workshop or salon party

Rooted in the fact that a poor self-concept and lack of confidence is often at the core of negative body image, the Beautiful You workshop focuses on empowering women to know their truth and reality and arriving at a self-mastery that allows for resilience, pro-activity, self-acceptance, and, ultimately, a positive self-esteem.  The Beautiful You celebration introduces women to some of the tools used in Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self-Acceptance to empower women to see beauty in a way that is true to who they are and not in the way the world hands it to them.  The celebration begins with a brief reading from and introduction to Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self-Acceptance and then continues with  guided reflection, a review and signing of the Body Warrior Pledge, and activities chosen with the group that has gathered in mind.  Perfect for book clubs, girls’ night out, church groups among others.

Media Matters

This interactive workshop reveals the extent of our use of media and its impact, exposes the amount of image alteration that occurs in the media, and challenges participants to be wiser consumers of media.  Participants will leave with a powerful new understanding of how the media works, the way market forces motivate what we are shown, and what they can do about it.

Growing Up Latina

Rooted in the work and lessons from Hijas Americanas, this presentation reveals how Latinas coming of age in America reconcile the messages they receive in their homes with the messages they receive outside their homes in order to find themselves.  Includes a reading, an explanation of the motivation for this book and the research process, and allows time for questions.

What We Must Do

A call to action for female leaders to stop critical conversations and start uplifting themselves and others. What can women do to change the negative circumstances that impact women’s self-perception on a daily basis? The presentation includes concrete suggestions for changing a community’s behavior and offers the audience an opportunity to address specific community needs.

Body and Soul Positive Parenting

Parents often feel as if their role in championing their daughters’ self-confidence is negated by the rush of images presented to them on television, in the movies, and in magazines. The truth is that parents are a daughter’s frontline of defense in the body image wars, and it’s never too late to champion your child. Parents will share their concerns and hear best practices for empowering rather than enabling their children while instilling confidence.

Writing Your Life

Self-reflection allows us a moment of inquiry, a moment to identify desire and potential. Generating awareness, and then moving to personal solutions, takes time and thought, brainstorming and checking in, enough repetition to want to change our choices and build a new habit, and the knowledge of why this habit will be good for us when we want to revert. Journaling predisposes us to a more successful embrace of our self and our choices, insulating and boosting our self-awareness which raises our self-esteem. Participants will engage in a range of journaling tools and practices.

    I would like to know more about thisworkshop. We have a large group here in Austin and believe it’s an international group, Las Comadres. We could probably get a good number of women to attend a workshop like this. Is there a website?

  2. rosiemolinary

    Hi Maria! I am a member of Las Comadres, too! These workshops are courses that I can give around the country. For example, I am traveling to Nashville, College Park, Maryland, Warren, New Jersey, Fredonia, New York among other places this fall to give workshops. I am actually going to be a part of the Latino Book and Family Festival in Houston on September 30th. There, I will be giving a reading at 4 pm in Suite E of the Convention Center. I know it’s a bit of a drive from Austin but maybe you can make it. Otherwise, feel free to e-mail me at latinabookproject@adelphia.net and we can talk more about these workshops!

    All the best, Rosie

    Hello, I heard that you were in Atlanta in early August, but I missed you. I’m currently a student at GA Tech and my sorority along with the women’s resource center at our university are planning a Body Image Celebration month in February. We are really interested in having you come and do a workshop, book reading and signing, etc. Please contact me and let me know if this is something that interests you.

    Thank you

    I am almost done reading your book “Hijas Americanas” and
    I must say, wow I finally feel like I am not alone. Your book has touched me in so many ways, and I wish that the affect it had on me could be shared with the rest of the girls here in my community. Is there anyway, that you can come to Lake Tahoe California for a workshop or perhaps a nearby city such as Reno Nevada or Sacramento California. I believe that the girls (and women) of our community would really benefit from the workshop. Please let me know if there is a chance and if there is anything that I can do to make it happen.

    Gracias

    1. rosiemolinary

      AnaLiz, Thanks so much for stopping in and letting me know what the book has meant to you. I will send you an email to talk about the possiblity of going out to Tahoe. Abrazos, Rosie
