Summer Aliveness: Contemplative Practices for Joy, Emotional Balance, and Deep Resilience
with Eve Ekman & Elissa Epel
Saturday, July 11th
Held within the fullness of summer, this workshop offers a chance to pause in the richness of being alive amid the complexity of our lives and the world. Through contemplative practice and guided restoration, we create space to soften, listen, and return to the senses—and to our innate capacity for love.
Blending contemplative practice with contemporary science, this day-long workshop explores how emotional awareness supports resilience, vitality, and meaningful connection. We engage in practices that cultivate awareness, connection, and positive emotional states that support nervous system regulation, enhanced allostasis, and adaptability. Through meditation, breathwork, and reflection, we’ll explore how resilience includes moving gently through sadness and frustration while savoring the many joys abundantly present in life.
This work is not about striving toward a distant goal. It is about learning how to be here—steady, responsive, and open-hearted—amidst a complex and changing world.
In person or online.
