For those of you new to The Strange is Beautiful, our mission is to change the way “mental illnesses” mind obstacles are seen, make alternative self-help accessible and create a positive community for those struggling.
Here are some of the alternative self-help we currently offer you xoxox:
- The Strange is Beautiful Alternative Self-Help Guide
(Print) $15
This full color, 8.5″ x 11″, 44 paged print guide will help you find holistic ways to treat not just your stress, or mind obstacles, but your self as a whole.
From self-help such as yoga for anxiety and depression, self massage and things-to-do-when-you-want-to-freak-out-and-die, to interviews of musician Soko, LGBTQ therapist and an energy healer, you’ll gain the tools to develop your own self-care and self-love routine! Learn more here. - Yoga Classes for Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Depression
(Online)
Comes with your order of the guide! The classes are created and taught by Shannen (creator of TSIB), a 500 RYT Trauma Informed yoga instructor who designed the classes based on her personal practice, her mind obstacles and her yoga teachings. Learn more here.
- Self-Help and Self-Love with Chingona Fire
