Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi will visit Stockholm to offer a full-day workshop on developing emotional maturity. This workshop is an opportunity to learn how to better navigate emotional states by feeling them more fully and letting them go more easily when they no longer serve us.
The emotional domain is the gateway to the heart. To become a wholehearted human being, someone who is able to include the pain, loss, and difficulty of our lives, we must develop our emotional intelligence. We call this kind of development emotional maturity or emotional literacy. Working with and investigating powerful feelings and emotional states can significantly enrich our lives and relationships.
Emotional maturity involves a willingness to feel, to become awake to our emotional states, and, at the same time, to let feelings go – not holding onto what no longer serves us.
At the workshop, we will be exploring the apparent paradox of welcoming emotions without holding onto them.
We will touch on these themes during the day.
- Moving beyond the tendency to suppress or deny feelings
- Identifying the wisdom in any emotion
- Becoming more comfortable entering challenging emotional terrain
- Unpacking complex emotions and working with contradictory feelings
- Increasing your emotional range and ability to express feeliings & emotions
- Overcoming the tendency to cling to emotional experiences
- Developing the courage to communicate feelings in beneficial ways
The workshop will be a mix of teaching, partner exercises, and whole group practices.
