oin an original format for learning and integrating the basic tools of Cultivating Emotional Balance. This format has two distinct modules:

A) Collaborative emotional awareness workshop

B) Guided introspective meditation retreat.

You can choose to participate in the full immersion of both A and B or just B, the meditation retreat. The skills and practices in both modules will support the application of cultivating emotional balance in daily life.

Day one focuses on laying the groundwork for emotional awareness and learning how to track emotions, cultivating a basis of joy in meditation and stabilizing attention in the body.

Day two investigates the roots and strategies for working with the emotions of anger and sadness as well as developing mindfulness, introspection and compassion for our mental and emotional habits.

Day three addresses our internal longing for contentment and flourishing, reflections on genuine well-being and a meaningful life, and meditations that establish the clarity of intention and commitment to our own and others well-being.

Our goal is to support the participants in acquiring tools for cultivating emotional balance in daily life. Your guides are Eve Ekman PhD and Ryan Redman MA. They are the core teachers of Cultivating Emotional Balance with a decade’s worth of experience teaching in the fundamental concepts of CEB.
