Meditation is often portrayed as a helpful practice that enables us to experience an inner refuge of unbreakable resilience and well-being with which to surf the challenges of daily life. Yet, the practice of meditation inevitably liberates within us long suppressed sensations, emotions, thoughts, and conditioned behaviors, leaving many uncertain as to how to navigate them. Instead of resisting these experiences, what if you could meet them with skill, clarity, confidence, and compassion?

In this transformative two-part, four-hour course, you’ll learn practical, evidence-based techniques to work with the challenging aspects of meditation—whether it’s restlessness, anxiety, doubt, deep-seated emotions, beliefs, or patterns of conditioned behaviors that are no longer serving you.

• Cultivate resilience, inner freedom, and confidence in your ability to meet challenging psychic material.
