Practices for Re-Finding Center: Creative & Compassionate Responses to Your & Others’ Big Emotions with Amy Hyatt

Over and over, many of us are commenting on the turmoil and challenges of our times.

Many of us are experiencing overwhelm in the midst of inter-personal conflict and wider community conflict. This includes talking about and identifying “trauma” behaviors and so much else. By definition, trauma is what happens when we get overwhelmed by an experience whether it is emotional and/or physical and we don’t know how to be present with those feelings.

In this webinar, Amy Hyatt will be sharing some practices that help us to engage “overwhelm” and expand our capacity to be present with our own and with others’ big emotions, enabling us to engage with creative, compassionate responses.

These practices are effective in all our relationships whether as an organizational leader or a mentor in the woods. The webinar will include 20-30 minutes of trying out some practices and then sharing what you noticed…and how you can imagine using the practice in your situation.
