Date: May 3, 2019; 10:00am – 5:00pm
Sliding Scale: $75 – 200. Code GF2D19.
6 CE credits available for $60, for psychologists and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, and chiropractors.
Description:
Our anger can be frightening, confusing, or something we push away. It can also feel like a source of power. Yet, it’s rarely a source of our true power. Utilizing different mindfulness practices, we’ll explore our relationship to anger, and find ways to move into wise relationship with this energetic force. We’ll look at ways to clear away the reactivity that can fuel our anger, and allow wisdom to arise.
We will balance this through an exploration of joy: the delight in beauty, kindness, and love. Together, we’ll look at these two factors – the wisdom that lies beneath our anger, and our joy – as the sources of our true power.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available.
