The Power of you - 2 day intensive program

The  CCA Power of You Program has been designed with Carers for Carers to  provide them an opportunity to find their purpose, give them hope,  maintain their health and well-being and reduce social isolation. 

The  concept of homophily is that people generally associate and bond with  those who are similar. Most CCA staff are or have been in a caring role  (lived experience), an aspect of our organisation that will allow Carers  to feel comfortable to share and respond to us honestly and openly.

This  program will commence with a 2-day intensive program where Carers will  have a break, be pampered and find their purpose. This will all  be delivered in a caring and nurturing environment where we acknowledge  all they are and all they do. Our aim is to raise their spirit by  assisting them to identify their desires and purpose, giving them hope  and self-acceptance.

Day 1 – Celebrate You

Massage  and Yoga/Nia Dance combined with healthy meals, a day to celebrate you  and share your experiences with others in a safe and nurturing  environment. 

Day 2 – Find Your Purpose

“Life  is like a collection of bank accounts. Each has a certain value. A few  have large balances, others might have respectable balances, and one or  two may be overdrawn.” –  Daniel Harkavy 

o What are your priorities or what is most important to you?

o Barriers to achieving what is important to you

o Adding play for joy and laughter

The power inside you is often unknown

And to outside forces we are often prone

Life would be great for all of us here

If we could take a minute to listen and hear

Your purpose is there waiting for you

So I encourage you to your heart be true

Let your light shine for all to see

So your power and life-force sets you free

Just living cannot possibly be enough 

Even if we find each day difficult and tough

We need to live for something that touches the depths of our soul

That burning inside that makes our heart sing and be whole
