Patterns that Connect and Disconnect

This workshop can be taken as a stand-alone session or as the second workshop in the Regenerative Connections™ series. We will also cover everyday emotional challenges.

Our emotional habits can connect us or keep us at a distance from ourselves and others. When these habits activate we react to symbolic threats as though they were real. Even if they may not make rational sense, these patterns have an emotional reality; understanding them can yield insights in our own and others’ vulnerabilities and help us respond with empathy, understanding, and caring.

Reparative interventions from ancient wisdom traditions and modern psychology can allow for insight and connection rather than confusion and reactivity.

In addition to modern and ancient psychologies we will draw on findings from neuroscience, in a combination of lecture, discussion and experiences.

These include mapping these learned emotional habits and ways to sense their activation, calm our reactivity, and repatterning for healthier responses.
