Session Two
In this second session, we will especially make space for difficult emotions, especially fear, grief, and rage. We can investigate the narratives that support these emotions and how they might be loosened, meeting our habitual defensive responses not only with kindness but with clarity, courage, and determination. This is an ambitious journey, one that requires not only safety and compassion, but also a certain boldness. We are challenging massive forces and patterns; Mara doesn’t go down easy (and gets back up). So we can also purposefully discover and nourish our wholesome ambition.
Special Session
In this special session, we’re joined by best-selling author and researcher Dr. Dan Siegel for a tour of mind from the perspective of contemporary neurology. Dan will walk us through what science is coming to understand about what mind is and, critical for our purposes, how we can actively cultivate a healthy, resilient mind, and one that directly experiences, knows, its relatedness with all of life.
Session One
In this opening session, groups will be gathering and all participants will be keen to know what they’ve signed up for. We’ll begin by gathering and reflecting on our global situation and the changes that are rapidly underway. We’ll map out the journey, ensure satchels are packed, and facilitate connections among travelers. In particular, we’ll be seeding psychological safety, essential to risk-taking, inside the course framework and among group members.
