Six-week Online Course

Tuesdays, 10:00 am - 11:30 am MT
Via Zoom
The emotional domain is the gateway to the heart. To become a wholehearted human being, someone who is able to include the pain, loss and difficulty of our lives, we must develop our emotional intelligence. We call this kind of development emotional maturity or emotional literacy. It involves a willingness to feel, to become awake to our emotional states, and at the same time, a complete willingness to let feeling subside or go, without holding onto it when it no longer serves.
Everyone can learn how to work with powerful feelings and emotional states. When we do, they enrich our lives and relationships.

- Go beyond the tendency to suppress or deny feelings
