Veterans Day is a good day to learn to move beyond war within ourselves, and externally with others.
In this introductory program, we will do gentle practices together, share in a virtual circle, and touch our pain and inspiration as individuals and as part of the collective. Participants will practice contemplative methods that bring us more present and help connect us with others.
If you're looking for an authentic space to investigate emotional energies, tap them for their innate wisdom, and learn methods that cultivate kindness toward yourself and others – then Karuna Training is the program for you.
This two-hour program is appropriate for anyone aspiring to combine mindfulness, awareness, and compassion with their experiences in everyday life.
There are no prerequisites for this program.
Participants learn:
- How to be more present with themselves in an embodied way
- Methods that build ‘intensity capacity’ with uncomfortable emotions and circumstances
What to Expect:
- Guided Meditation
- Practicing Contemplative Psychology methods in a group
- Sharing and working with one’s personal experience of emotions, using embodiment and creativity
