SUMMARY:Transforming Depression and Anxiety Practice Group\, Online 2/23–5/4
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\nAlternate Tuesdays\, February 23–May 4\, 5:30–7:30 pm PT \nIn SFZC’s Transforming Depression and Anxiety offerings\, kindness\, mindfulness\, and tools from contemporary psychology are engaged to shift our relationship with depression\, anxiety\, and their companions\, judgment and self-criticism. These offerings include the core TDA course\, offered in January\, Transforming Depression and Anxiety: A Path of Skillful Compassion\, Online 1/12–2/2\, and Finding Ease: A Zen and Mindfulness Approach to Anxiety\, an annual workshop at Green Gulch Farm and City Center. \nThis 3-month virtual practice community class is open to previous TDA participants and anyone who feels they might benefit from these teachings. We will engage Buddhist practices and use TDA tools to disrupt reactive thought patterns that threaten to steal our peace of mind-heart. We will also work with questioning old stories that can poison our perceptions of self\, others\, and reality. \nFinally\, we’ll explore Buddha’s teaching that within our suffering lies the seeds of its healing and transformation\, and how this teaching intersects with TDA practices. \nOur purpose is to live more fully in the present moment\, less affected by reactivity\, rumination\, and worry. Living this way is a powerful antidote to lowered and agitated moods\, helping us see the good in our lives. \n2027 Dates:February 23March 9March 23April 6April 20May 4 \nLed by Jisho Lisa Beth Hoffman\, each class will include a brief guided meditation\, a short TDA Buddhist teaching\, discussion\, and a closing guided meditation. \nIf you have taken a TDA offering\, we encourage you to try this practice group. If you haven’t\, you are also warmly welcomed to join. We do request that you prepare for the group\, and there are two easy ways you can do so: \n\nTake the self-paced online course Befriending Your Pain\, taught by the late Dr. Lee Lipp\, who created the TDA-FE offerings and was a wise and delightful teacher.\nRead The Mindful Way Through Depression\, which Dr. Lipp used in designing the TDA offerings.\nRecordings:All course sessions will be recorded\, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
