Saturday July 22nd 10 am – 2 pm – Using Meditation to Cope With Stress – Cost – $100
Lunch is included in the registration fee.
Description: Stress is inevitable in our lives but our reactivity is not. When there is stress there is a tendency to develop a self-destructive narrative that catastrophizes the situation and leads to negative emotions, poor judgment, and self-destructive responses. In this workshop we will: learn how and why we increase our stress levels; discover how meditation techniques help us modify our negative habitual patterns; practice several techniques and discuss when to use them; and learn to integrate these practices into daily life. Lunch will be provided so we can practice mindful eating. Click Here to register Click Here to register
