Cultivating Emotional Balance

*Vegetarian Lunch Buffet Included with Course Donation*

This training utilizes the experience of emotion as a path for developing the happiness of being for ourselves and in relationship to others. By integrating the wisdom traditions of modern psychology, current emotion research, and contemplative practices, CEB provides a secular platform for transformation.

In this daylong introduction to CEB training we will discuss the meaning of happiness and the practices that lead to its cultivation, the role of emotions in our own lives and in our relationships with others. We will look at the definition of emotions and spend time in small groups analyzing our emotional experiences and engaging in dyadic reflection and discussion.

With the tools of CEB, we can draw upon our human capacity to wisely and compassionately actualize individual and collective well-being through bringing awareness to our emotional lives. In these challenging times, the development of methods for "cultivating emotional balance" and promoting compassion for others is a tremendously important scientific and humanitarian goal. By integrating wisdom derived from two very different traditions, the Cultivating Emotional Balance training contributes to this important goal.
