SUMMARY:A Skillful Approach to Emotions with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:A Skillful Approach to Emotions with Sunil Joseph\n4 Tuesdays January 4th\, 11th\, 18th\, and 25th; 6:30pm-8:00pm \nHow to Attend:\nThis class will be in-person and online (Sunil will be teaching online from home).\nIn person: 2791 24th Street Room 14\, Sacramento CA 95818 (upstairs\, parking lot in back)\nBe sure to follow the Diamond Light COVID-Protocols.\nJoin live online with Zoom: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\n(Meeting ID: 224 735 8115) \nDescription:\nWhat if our emotions were messengers from a deeper intelligence attempting to guide us to fulfillment? Emotions are generally viewed as irrational\, confusing\, challenging\, disruptive\, threatening\, unreliable\, messy\, etc. This is caused\, in large part\, by the fact that we are not taught how to listen to our emotions and understand their messages. Emotions are the currency of human relationships. Our ability to navigate our emotions and the emotions of our loved ones has a direct impact on the quality of all our relationships and thus our lives.\nIn this class\, we will introduce Marshall Rosenberg’s model of emotions as messengers helping us enrich life within self and others. This class will deepen both your cognitive vocabulary and your somatic (bodily) awareness of emotions. It will introduce Rosenberg’s method of compassionate inquiry into emotions to discover their underlying life-serving messages. About 20% of our class time will be spent on theory related to the model. The remaining 80% of our time will be invested in experiential learning. Please bring some paper and something to write with. You are encouraged to experiment with the model and make your own conclusions about its value in your life. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary. All are welcome. You can drop-in to one or more sessions if you cannot attend the whole series since the core principles will be woven into each session. \nCost:\nSuggested donation of $10-$20 per class to cover the cost of the class and support the teacher. No one turned away for lack of funds. You can give online: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or through our business page on Venmo (@diamondlight)\nFor more info: http://www.diamondlightsac.org or email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com \nAbout Sunil:\nI have been a student of empathy-based approaches\, including Nonviolent Communication (NVC)\, Mindfulness\, etc.\, since 2004. I completed BayNVC’s NVC Leadership training in 2008 and have been sharing NVC with groups and individuals since then. I completed the 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program offered by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach in 2021. I am currently a trainee facilitator with GRIP Training Institute\, grip-traininginstitute.org\, which offers a 1-year healing and accountability program to incarcerated populations.
