The Wisdom of Despair and Depression

From an early age, we begin to distrust our despair and dark emotions. We are told to "get a grip," or "just forget about it and move on" as if these emotions need to be avoided at all costs. We will be exploring another way to view these challenging emotions by discovering the wisdom they bring. By going beyond the compulsion to control our so called "negative" emotions, we can actually attend to and befriend them. In doing this, we create space for healing and transformation. We can finally release ourselves from their underlying grip of pain, fear and suffering! Join us on Monday, Aug. 24, 2015 at 8 a.m. EST.
