Gremlins in the Woods: Identify (and Squash) your Inner Critics
Event Information
Description
Sure, gremlins can be scary, but the worst ones are the inner critics in our own heads and of our own creation. You might hear them telling you "You'll never land that job. You're not qualified," or "Don't get your hopes up. It's never going to happen."
In this spooky time of year, we’ll explore what our own personal gremlins might be and how to keep them from holding us back. This two-hour program will be held at the Frick Park Environmental Center's Greer Living Room, a cozy space that overlooks the park's Falls Ravine. The “gremlin” theme is inspired by Rick Carson’s classic, Taming Your Gremlin. The wooded location is inspired by, well, my love for nature.
What to Expect
Participants should expect an intimate conversation among like-minded individuals. Under the direction of Associate Certified Coach Amy Camp, the group will work to understand how and why our inner critics function, identify our own, and leave with strategies for keeping them in check.
Bonus!
The workshop falls during a full moon. Stick around afterward for the Pittsburgh Park Conservancy's Full Moon Hike (8:30 p.m., advanced registration required). They are unlikely to spot any gremlins in the woods.

Organizer of Gremlins in the Woods: Identify (and Squash) your Inner Critics
A vision and master plan are currently being developed for the riverfront at Hazelwood Green. The Hazelwood Green Riverfront Master Plan will help to determine future uses for the riverfront and how to reconnect residents to the Monongahela River. The Greater Hazelwood Neighborhood Plan calls for restoring access to the riverfront. This goal is shared by Almono, LP, owners of Hazelwood Green. The master plan project is now underway and will be completed in 2021. This is a project of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, which received a PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant to fund the plan, and property owners Almono, LP, which provided matching funds. Consultants hired to manage the process are Environmental Planning & Design (lead), Cycle Forward, and H.F. Lenz Company.
