Facing Fear and Loss

Learn to welcome difference and change, and find ways to live with life just as it presents itself. Fear is an inevitable life experience, and a natural response to loss and to threats to safety and wellbeing of self or others. Ignoring these threats is not helpful and often exacerbates problems. What if, instead of running away from negative or unwanted experiences, we learn to face them? Facing these challenges directly is a doorway to creative potentials, new possibilities for improved mental health, and personal safety. Using an interactive process and contemplative methods, we will share personal experiences of fear and loss and practice opening to the present moment – even if it’s full of dread. Join us as we learn to welcome difference and change, and find ways to live with life just as it presents itself.
