DESCRIPTION:The Zoom link to participate in this event will be provided at least 24 hours before it begins. Please call 415-354-0360 if you have any questions. \n\nFour Tuesdays\, January 12–February 2\, 5:30–7:30 pm PT \n“To be you is enough\, you know…”\n—Suzuki Roshi \nWeaving together mindfulness and contemporary psychology\, this course explores how to best take care of ourselves by relating to depression and anxiety with compassion and understanding. Our purpose is for participants to learn and practice how to interrupt conditioning that hinders feeling better and noticing what is good in our lives. We encourage each student through skillful means to cultivate common sense practices that help us manage and prevent chronic feelings of unhappiness. \nBy focusing on direct experience\, we learn to see and disrupt habitual mind patterns that lead to depression and anxiety. \nEach Tuesday’s two-hour class combines presentations\, guided meditations\, experiential exercises\, and group discussion. \nThe focus for each week will be as follows: \nWeek One — Being in the Present Moment with Whatever Arises\nWeek Two — Recognizing and Interrupting Reactive Habit Patterns\nWeek Three — Relating to Difficulties with Compassion and Lovingkindness\nWeek Four — Strategies for Taking Care of Ourselves \nDuring this class series\, you will discover how it is possible for you to: \n\nBe released from the limiting storylines that you and others have told you about yourself\nLearn new skills that help untangle painful thoughts and self-criticism\nBuild the capacity to be with emotional pain and distress with strength and courage\nCultivate self-confidence and self-esteem as you practice using re-sculpting tools\nLearn to offer compassion and acceptance to yourself and others\nCultivate a natural experience of peace\, ease\, and well-being\nExperience deeper authentic connection\, presence\, and vitality\nFeel better and have a more satisfying relationship to life\n\nYou are warmly invited to try the TDA (Transforming Depression and Anxiety) Practice Group once you have completed this course. It’s an optional group that includes ongoing teaching to deepen TDA practice and community\, meeting biweekly on Tuesdays from February 23 through May 4. \nPractice Group information and registration for Transforming Depression and Anxiety Practice Group\, Online 2/23–5/4. \nRecordings:\nAll course sessions will be recorded\, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
