Event Details
Dates: 2 Days: Saturday, September 1 – Sunday, September 2; 10:00am – 4:30pm
Sliding Scale: $150 – 400. Code MB1M18.
6 CE credits available for $60 for psychologists and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, and chiropractors.
The Buddha said anger has a honeyed tip and poisoned root. Anger has important effects on our lives, our families, and our society. If we are to be deeply happy and nourish the happiness of others, we must include anger as part of our spiritual path, even though this may appear contradictory at first.
Although anger sometimes contains a seed of wisdom, it invariably contains a seed of delusion; anger is never the last word. We’ll learn meditative strategies to untangle the complex experience of anger and explore how self-cherishing creates fertile ground for anger. Lastly, we’ll connect with the dimension of ourselves that urgently seeks a life of non-harming.
Young Adults (18-26) and Seniors (65+ with limited income) are invited to attend this program for $90 ($45/day).
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. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
