Anger, Sadness, Compassion, and Equanimity: Exploring Emotional Balance
In this weekend retreat at the Big Bear Retreat Center, we will focus on two emotions many of us struggle to deal with- anger and all its many forms from annoyance to rage; and sadness ranging from disappointment to agony.
We will use an emotion episode timeline to identify the brief but powerful ingredients of emotion: the trigger that catalyzes the cascade, our felt experience of emotion in body and mind, and the ways we respond externally and internally.
This process can reveal our common, old stories that color our perspective, where we hold emotions in the body, habits of avoiding or exploding and much more. To do this meaningful exploration, we call on the ancient practices of Compassion and Equanimity which offer exquisite antidotes to some of the hardest to feel and reveal parts of our emotional lives.
