Taming Anxiety

May 15, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

with Rev. Keiryu Liên Shutt

Does your mind seem to “be all over the place”? Do you find yourself worrying a lot? Do you feel easily overwhelmed and filled with anxiety? Do you obsess about “shoulds” and “coulds” and, therefore, find it hard to focus?

Buddhist teachings and meditation practices have long addressed ways to be with such emotions and thoughts. In this one-day, we will gather and to learn ways in which we can work with worry and anxiety. You’ll learn ways to be with these emotions and be able to practice meditations, which can foster calm and ease in body and mind.

Sitting and walking meditation, Dharma teachings, group discussions and experiential exercises will be used.
