Confused, wild emotions can dominate us in obvious and subtle ways. Without suppressing feelings or acting them out, meditation works with emotions directly. The energy of emotions becomes the basis for developing wisdom and compassion.  Participants in this course will learn to work more skillfully with emotions as they arise, through valuable perspectives and daily practices. 

 

Doors open at 19h00. Class begins at 19h30. Please arrive early!

 

About the teacher: Heather Anderson is Shambhala meditation instructor, an Integral Master Coach, a visual artist and Embodiment Facilitator.  In this course, she will weave her experience as a Meditation Instructor, and a Coach working with clients on emotional intelligence and elements of neuroscience.
