MINDFULNESS OF EMOTIONS:

Above all, this class will practice identifying emotions that are present, and in turn, relate to them wisely, as opposed to reacting on autopilot.

Things you will learn include:

The experiential anatomy of emotions
How every emotion has an underlying message, and when seen this way, it's possible to relate to even the hard ones with care and compassion.
The difference between collapsing into an emotion, being disconnected from an emotion, and dancing in between the two.

The workshop will feature a dynamic blend of lecture, community discussion, journaling, and guided meditations. Attendance will be capped at 20 people.

COST:

Offered on the gift economy (aka, on donation).

Please note that offered on donation does not mean "low value" or "only sign up because no payment is required." This event will likely fill up. Please only join if you genuinely intend to come.
If you'd like to learn more about how and why I support myself 99% on community donations, please read

*Note: Eventbrite may now require a minimum $1 donation. Apologies about that — I wish I could set it to $0 minimum!!
