with Fred Eppsteiner

Many individuals suffer from unresolved trauma, often based on experiences that occurred much earlier in their life. In spite of years of effort, these unhealed wounds continue to trigger them into emotional reactivity, and thus disturbing their desire for stability and equanimity in daily life. Whether in a person’s emotions, behaviors, relationships or even beliefs, the effects of past trauma continue to sabotage their hopes for a good life.

Rather than treating the long-lasting effects of past trauma as an individual issue to be resolved by involving oneself in various types of therapeutic practices or processes, Buddhism offers a different perspective. This perspective is not only beneficial for those seeking relief from the effects of past trauma, but helps ensure that one can respond to new ‘extra-ordinary’ events with understanding and compassion.

Join Fred Eppsteiner for this one-day workshop where he will guide participants through an exploration of how the Buddhist framework can offer new possibilities for understanding true resiliency and resolving past trauma.

This class will begin on Saturday, January 18 from 9:00 am to 4:00 p.m. Classes will be held in-person and online. The cost is $80 in-person and $60 online. If you have questions, please contact us at info@floridamindfulness.org.

Registration closes January 10 for In-Person and January 15 for Online.
