The 3 Traps That Keep Us Unhappy, Anxious & Miserable (& How To Escape Them)

In our online Thursday evening meeting this week we'll be looking at the 3 powerful habits of mind that trap us in perpetual cycles worry, unhappiness, and a deep sense of dissatisfaction with ourselves and our own lives—and we'll be exploring the surprisingly simple and straightforward techniques that can enable us all to break free (quite quickly) from these tormenting patterns of thought and emotion.

In the course of our time together on Thursday evening we'll hear from several leading figures from the fields of mindfulness, psychology, and neuroscience—including Tarah Brach, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Thich Nhat Hanh—who will explain precisely why we tend to find ourselves constantly caught-up in these unpleasant and extremely difficult loops of negative thinking and self-torment... and how we can break free of their iron grip by simply using some regular practices rooted in mindfulness and meditation which actually move us out of this type of automatic brain activity—and which help us to then live with much greater freedom from these harsh mental and emotional cycles, enabling us to access happiness and contentment.

During the meeting, Tara, Jon, and Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh), along with some other top experts, will share their wisdom and expertise with us in some brief but enlightening pieces of video teaching, plus we'll join together in some periods of blissful guided meditation and group mindfulness practice that will give us an immediate experience of the very practices that we can then take away and put to use in our daily lives in order to bring this process of transformation about within ourselves!
