The Great Secret: How To Handle Suffering (& Live Well Despite Difficulties)

In our online Thursday evening meeting this week we'll be exploring the great secret that is contained at the heart of mindfulness – how to handle the suffering that arises in our lives in a radically different way, a way that enables us to significantly reduce our distress and actually live well despite the difficulties and challenges, both big and small, that will inevitably arise.

In the course of this week’s online meeting we'll hear from several leading figures from the fields of mindfulness, psychology, and neuroscience—including Eckhart Tolle, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Thich Nhat Hanh—who will explain precisely how we can do this, and also why we otherwise tend to live our lives constantly getting caught-up in unpleasant and extremely painful patterns of reactivity and emotional distress that are, really, an unnecessary form of self-torment... because they not only do not help us to resolves or deal with the problems in our lives (they actually tend to obstruct us from handling these situations well and effectively), but they also exaggerate our suffering make our experience of difficulty in life more painful that it actually needs to be!

During out time together on Thursday evening, Eckhart, Jon, and Thich Nhat Hanh, together with some other top experts in this field, will share their wisdom and expertise with us in brief but enlightening teaching videos and we'll also join together in some periods of blissful guided meditation and group mindfulness practice that will give us all a direct experience of how we can then take away and put to use the powerful techniques of mindfulness in our daily lives in order to quickly change our our patterns of handling suffering and difficult situation in ways that will enable us to significantly improve our own lives.
