Latest scientific research echoes what spiritual traditions have affirmed for millennia about our well-being: it is a skill that can be learnt and cultivated through training and intentional practice.
If you are seeking a safe space for inner work that integrates the specific needs of women - women who are feminists, queer, creative, activists, students, scientists, farmers, professionals or home makers - within a secular and scientific framework, you've reached the right place!
Sisters in Spirit is facilitating a series of online, focused study and practice groups to empower your growth in cognitive and affective dimensions. With the help of powerfully transformative practices of wisdom and compassion, we will arrive at a stable core of safety, love, and awareness that we can return to, as needed, for nourishment. By finding deep rest in the depth of our being, we can respond to a variety of situations in our daily life, with clarity, consideration and skillfulness.
Course Themes:
● SELF-LOVE
Our ability to hold ourselves in esteem and have confidence in our worth, no matter what happens around us.
● EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE
Our ability to adapt in the midst of adversities, tackle stressful situations skilfully, and spring back emotionally, after undergoing crisis.
● META-AWARENESS AND THE NATURE OF MIND
Our ability to observe our thoughts, feelings, sensations and impulses as they are happening, by becoming consciously aware of our own awareness.
● INSIGHT
Our ability to see and understand clearly the true nature of a person, thing or situation.
