And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. —Anaïs Nin
Not just once, but over and over throughout our lives, each one of us is the bud whose time has come to break open. Usually, we fear change, loss, or transition. But these challenges—at work, home, in a relationship, or with our health—are the very experiences that can nudge us open and make us bolder, wiser, and more fully alive.
This experiential workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to fight less with the changing nature of life and death, and relax more into the mystery of existence. We use meditation practice to put down the burden of "the way it's supposed to be," and rest in the freedom of "the way it is."
Through conversation, writing, listening to music, and engaging in healing and therapeutic exercises, we find the courage to dive into and through the difficulties of being human.
CE available. Limited enrollment; register early.
