The Importance of Feeling: A Day Long Workshop on Liberating Wisdom

Every day, every person has emotional experiencea – be it pleasant or unpleasant, subtle or intense, well-defined or ill-defined. Is it possible to experience painful emotions such as anger, fear and sadness without suppressing them, but also without suffering negative effects from acknowledging and fully experiencing them? Is it possible to deepen the fulfillment we receive from positive emotions such as joy, humor and love? How do painful emotions relate to compulsive behavior patterns? Is there a way in which any emotional experience can become a spiritual experience?

Explore these and other questions with Shinzen Young at a daylong workshop to take place on July 24, 2011. At this event, we will cover both the theory and practice of applying mindfulness to emotional experience. Participants will learn how to increase fulfillment and decrease suffering merely by focusing your attention in certain ways.

Specifically, you will learn how to break emotional experiences into manageable pieces – body sensations, mental images and internal talk. This is based on the core insight of the Buddha – “untangle and be free.†Join us in this transformative retreat of guided practice and group discussion with this lucid senior meditation teacher. A brief reading will be sent to you at registration.

Daylong cost $50 plus dana for the teacher.

Some scholarships and work study opportuntities are available. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Call or write for more info.
