Our emotions help us respond to the threats and opportunities in our daily lives and profoundly impact our individual and collective well-being. Feeling the joys and pains of our emotions is universal; yet what makes us emotional and how we respond is unique, and we become emotional without our conscious awareness. Developing emotional awareness is like navigating this otherwise invisible inner-landscape by holding the full range of our human experience with compassion and creativity.
In this experiential workshop, we will draw from the evidence-based Cultivating Emotional Balance training, which integrates the wisdom traditions of modern psychology and emotion research with ancient contemplative practices as a path for transformation.
Each session will balance learning, being, and connecting.
Throughout this workshop Guest Faculty Teague O’Malley will weave interactive experiences of contemplative art that will encourage an embodied emotional awareness and heart-opening.
The foundation for emotional awareness connects in many ways with our most essential understandings of who we are and who we wish to become. Through learning, being, and doing practices with our emotions, we can remove the “dust from the gold” of our compassionate hearts. Join us for this weekend of transformative exploration and practice.
