Compassion and ACT: Acceptance, Allowing, & Making Space
June 27, 2021 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
Sometimes we cannot fix or problem solve our pain, but we can work toward healing it. When avoiding and suppressing pain makes our suffering worse, we can turn towards our difficult feelings, thoughts, and sensations with a stance of curiosity, willingness and acceptance. Based on ACT principles, this workshop will use journaling, meditation & embodied yoga practice to explore Acceptance through compassion:
- The consequences of avoidance and you Emotional Avoidance Roundabout
- How to holding thoughts lightly
- Acceptance and willingness in the body
- Pain as an arrow pointing you toward your values
