Practicing with Strong Emotions :
Seeing our Difficulties as Opportunities for Growth

Open to all

with John Mifsud

Undeniably, strong emotions cause great stress. Suppressing them can increase our suffering. Spaciousness helps us make healthful choices during difficult times. Buddhist teachings offer many tools to work with challenging feelings and increase ease.

Overwhelming feelings are a simply part of being human. They can cause suffering. Denying them can cause even more. Opening to them can further our personal liberation. In community, we’ll build both the safety and the courage to proceed skillfully.

All sessions are stand-alone. Attend any or all four.
