The Healing Power of Unconditional Presence

How we be with and how we relate to the stress, pain and illness in our lives can be as important in the process of healing and change as what we do. In this evening workshop, we'll discuss and explore cultivating unconditional presence with ourselves and our struggles. In a spirit of inquiry, we will live the questions of what is healing and how does it happen. The focus is on cultivating healing qualities of being such as a beginner's mind, non-judgment, patience, trust and radical acceptance. Through guided mindfulness meditations and guided imagery, we will learn how to be with ourselves and how to be with and relate to our difficulties in a way that is wise, compassionate and healing.
