Description:
Anxiety has many root causes ranging from the psychological to the physiological to the historical. No matter the origin, the distress and discomfort are palpable and understandable.
This workshop will explore a variety of ways to approach, meet and be with anxiety as it presents in the body – along with a cultivation of kind understanding about the mental and emotional challenges it presents.
We will practice meditation, while seated, walking, standing and lying down. There will be periods of delicate breathing and somatic practices to soothe the nervous system and invite periods of peace in the mind and heart.
*Important Note: If you would like access to the recording, you must register by the deadline above. You will have ~90 days from the original program date to view the program. Also know that by participating on camera in the question/answer sessions, you agree to be recorded. If you would like to not be recorded and/or remain anonymous for the day, you will be given instructions on how to do so the morning of the program. If you intend to receive continuing education credits for this program, you need to be present on the day of the event and you cannot be ‘anonymous’, we will need to check you in and out of the sessions.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
