We live in difficult, transitional times. Our situation is often unpredictable, and so are our emotional states. It is helpful at this time to deepen our meditation practice, and learn techniques to stabilize our emotional states.

Love and Compassion: Working with Disturbing Emotions is the second online course in the Love and Compassion series, led by Diane Musho Hamilton and Caty Hartung. The course will engage Zen Buddhist and Tibetan teachings and practices for working with one’s emotions, as well as opening one’s heart. They will use contemporary insights such as understanding how our brain and nervous system works, as well as traditional methods like the use of breath to support an aware state of mind.

Love and Compassion: Working with Disturbing Emotions

Diane Musho Hamilton and Caty Hartung

January 22nd - March 19th, 2021

Fridays, 10:00 - 11:30 am MT / 6pm - 7:30pm CET

90 minutes

We will study for 9 weeks (January 22nd -19th of March), examining the truth of impermanence, creating proper conditions for meditation and learning how to open up to the constant change we are facing. We will look into the nature of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and anger, and learn how to work with them. We will enlarge our capacity for kindness, using Buddhist practices of sitting meditation like shine (calming the mind), tonglen (giving and receiving), and Loving-Eyes (mantra meditation) and experience the mind itself (Big Mind). Finally, we will explore the hidden emotions and work with shadow practice.

If now is the time for you to go deeper in a culture of like-minded practitioners who wish to understand the challenges that we are all facing, please join us.

This online course will be easeful and accessible. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit from this course.
