Holding What Hurts: Caring for Strong Emotions in a Time of Social Harm

Online through Spirit Rock Meditation Center

How do we meet moments of overwhelm when it feels like there’s no space inside? In this half-day of mindfulness, we’ll explore body-based practices that help us stay grounded with strong emotions rather than running from them or being swept away. Through mindful breathing, walking, and listening to the body’s wisdom, we return to the steadiness of the present moment.

As we learn to tend our emotions with care, we also strengthen the inner resilience needed for the larger transformation our world is calling for. These practices help loosen patterns of fear and reactivity so we can participate in the great turning toward more life-giving ways of being together.

Drawing on Buddhist psychology, together we’ll learn to recognize, accept, and gently hold difficult emotions. From this compassionate presence, emotions settle, insight emerges, and new possibilities become available for both personal and collective healing.
