  • Protect your heart and head from your own negativity
  • Apply the process of healing emotions during daily life.

Through guided meditation, Tibetan yoga, reflection and open group sharing, the process that leads to emotionality is directly explored. This course goes beyond an intellectual understanding, so we can embody a lived experience of actively offering care to ourselves, and then extend caring to others.
