Go on a Quest.
Find yourself,
with a splash of whimsy.
You can’t change the whole world, but you can change your world.
You feel stuck.
There are too many things going on the world for you to hold. Too much pain, including your own. Too much uncertainty. Too many problems, not enough solutions.
Let’s do something about that!
I know that you know what your body and mind need right now. Maybe it’s practical stuff like drinking more water. Maybe it’s less tangible, like finding a way to safely feel your feelings or get community support.
It’s hard doing these tedious tasks on your own, and I’d like to make it easier for you.
Introducing Self Care Quest.
A fantastical, get-it-done challenge that brings elements of fantasy and whimsy to everyday tasks.
Get support as you do the hard stuff - in a way that’s accessible and sustainable.
What’s included?
-
A beautifully rendered map created by Saumya Singh (@saumyasvision), showcasing themed destinations you can travel to on your Quest.
-
Zoomed-in, detailed maps of each Destination, with spaces to keep track of where you are on your Quest. Maps can be downloaded, printed, or just used for inspiration!
-
An interactive group chat with others Questing alongside you, and monthly events that promote connection, action, and reciprocal care.
-
These are prompts separate from your main Quest, that are focused on your outward community and are totally optional. Self care is community care, and community care is self care!

The vibes:
But what will I actually do on this quest?
Think big picture about how you want to feel…
Select your first Destination…
Complete self care actions from your Quest Menu to reach the Destination…
Explore Side Quests to help the larger community…
Connect with others on the same journey.
I know firsthand how lonely it can be keep showing up for yourself when it feels like there’s no point. I’ve also seen the benefits of doing all the hard, gritty stuff that you don’t want to do. Support from others on the same path is crucial, and this program offers that in spades!
What is self care anyway?
Self care is not a new concept, but it has been known to positively impact your mental and physical health and is essential for wellbeing. That being said, self care is not a one size fits all experience. It is important to keep an open mind and explore self care tasks that actually make a difference in your life.
What to expect:
In our monthly Community Guild calls, we'll get to know each other a little bit, review the Quest Map and Destination themes, and explore some of the Action Steps. Then I'll guide you through some reflection prompts to help you find your motivation and narrow down your Destination.
After choosing your Destination, you'll start taking action. Some actions will seem much easier to you than others, but you'll always have accessible options. Some quests have small daily actions, and others have 1-2 larger actions. We will be in the Community Guild chat encouraging you and offering gentle accountability for your chosen Quest.
Once you arrive at your Destination, you may choose to part ways or begin another Quest!
Don’t sit this year out. Do what you can with what you have. Join us!
