COURSE
Advent Calendar Of Self-Love
With Liz Doyle
Sometimes it’s difficult to remember what we need to do or not do to have that real feeling of self-worth and of course, self-love. And then we have Christmas and all that is involved on top. Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas (apart from the clearing up afterwards) but it can all feel a little overwhelming and it’s SO easy to lose sight of what’s really important. I have created this 24 Window Advent Calendar to help you love yourself all the way up to Christmas and then you’ve got it to remind yourself way into the new year too. Each day isn't too long so the whole calendar doesn’t feel like yet another chore. I want it to be a little sanctuary for you. This Advent Calendar of self-love will include meditations on some of the days along with ideas of how to bring more self-love into your life, especially at this time of the year. Because as we all know, when we love ourselves more and more, we can love others more and more too. Let this calendar draw you closer into what feels true to you and invite in a healthier and happier you for a truly fabulous Christmas. Each day is designed to encourage you to take a little time to tend to your mind, body and spirit. Join me if you want to level up your brain/body/spirit connection and feel the emotional ease that comes from giving this advent calendar as a gift to yourself each day. The invitation is yours and someone you care about - so invite them to the course too. Take on the whole 24 days or drop in whenever it feels good for you. Please note: This course is not religious in any way and the reference to an advent calendar is used in a generic sense as used within modern-day culture.

Highly recommend. So helpful at a challenging time of year, this course helped me survive a solitary Christmas and cope with the memories of absent friends and family.

A fabulous way to stay grounded and connected during the holidays. I am a loyal Liz follower and have found her guidance a tremendous help and comfort. 2025 was a challenging year and ALL of her meditations and courses have been valuable. I also enjoy and appreciate her “LIVE EVENTS” and the active group support she facilitates.

Liz is so loving and sincere. Each Advent day she gently reminds and guides us to be grateful, to forgive and to love ourselves. The poem she shared by on the last day reminds us that we are all in this together. Show compassion and kindness. TY TY TY!!!!

I really, really don't know how you do it, Liz. This is an incredible TREASURE of ideas and tools to support and encourage self-love. Going into it, I expected some supportive words to help me get through a busy, often challenging time of the year. Having listened to a number of Liz's tracks and having got to know some things about this WONDERFUL teacher through other courses, lives and her gratitude and support group, I should have known better!! There is deep work here and I would say that this course could be done at any time of the year. It's a fulsome course filled with deep love and wise direction. Thank you, once again, Liz, for the work you do and the love you send out to the world. 🙏❤️

This course was just the perfect support for not only surviving holiday time but actually enjoying it and sharing joy and love with everyone around us! I’m grateful for the reminder of how simple the practice of self love is, right alongside how complicated and challenging it can be; both are simultaneously true! And Liz builds community and shares with deep authenticity and compassion. Thank you!🎄❣️🎄❣️

This course has been loving, encouraging, uplifting, supportive and so much happiness to open each window on the designated day. I don't want it to end. What is truly beautiful is that I can go back to the course or any part of it as often as I wish. The length of each lesson is perfect and completely doable even during the busy month of December. Thank you Liz for a wonderful Advent Calendar of Self-Love! 🙏💞

I have loved this advent calendar. Thank you so much to you Liz, for creating and delivering it so beautifully. It has somehow managed to touch on all of the challenging areas we experience at this time of year. At the end we are reminded that others may well be struggling more than ourselves. This message puts everything into perspective. Sending you and my fellow students much love 🙏💖

Thank you for sharing this advent calendar it has been such a joy and a relief being able to turne up each day to make time for myself.This self love advent calendar has helped me through the stress, the ups and downs,overwhelmness I sometimes get at Christmas and has helped me to see things in a more positive light. I love this idea of the self love advent calendar ,being more present in each day ,making more space for others being able to support myself and family more when they need it. It has been such a joy and comfort with the support of the teacher. I have learnt so much it’s good to know I can revisit and do this all year too ☺️🙏✨🥰💜❤️💙💜thank you
