IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME
In her latest book, It’s Not You, It’s Me, Camilla Sacre-Dallerup sets the intention of taking the reader on a journey through self-awareness and self-acceptance to a destination of self-love and ultimately self-care. These, she believes, are the four vital parts of healing and having good relationships with ourselves, and when we have a good relationship with ourself, we tend to have good relationships with others. Camilla is holding a teen workshop from 11:30-1pm, and a book launch and workshop from 2pm-4pm.
