About our Workshops

We provide education and training in the practice of resiliency and mindfulness that can help you

successfully navigate daily challenges, adversity, and unexpected change.

​

Stress is an inevitable part of life. You can’t change the fact that life is stressful, but science suggests that you can change how you respond to stressful situations.

 

Stress is evolution’s way of keeping us safe. In the past, it motivated us to run away from enemies and predators. In today’s world, however, we’re stressed out not by enemies and predators, but by traffic jams, overflowing inboxes, and an insufficient number of Instagram likes. All of which our bodies treat as emergencies.

 

This class provides a simple, yet powerful framework that you can use when life gets hard. It gives you a specific set of practices to utilize when times are tough, rather than being helplessly dragged around by your thoughts and emotions.

​

You will learn about your own reactive style and how to choose a “response” to stress, rather than

“reacting” with less skillful habitual patterns.
