"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was
more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Anais Nin


FEAR…. False Evidence Appearing Real. Even though we know fear does not serve us, we sometimes get overcome by fear. We allow it to stop us or limit us. We might not even be aware of the ways it drives us and makes us smaller than we are. Do we push it away? Dive into it? Try to transcend it and become fearless? How do we become friends with fear? In this workshop, through meditation, awareness exercises, relational mindfulness, and group discussion, we will apply the practice of conscious compassionate awareness to our relationship with fear. We will bring radical presence, compassion, and empowerment to our relationship with fear and gain tools and insights for how to experience greater equanimity, authentic courage, and personal freedom through awareness practice in daily life.

I consider it a tremendous gift to have had the opportunity to learn from Deborah Eden Tull.  Not only does she offer powerful tools for engaged awareness practice, she offers it with compassion, and humor, and grace.  Her constant reminder to be kind to myself and to allow the process fun is radically shifting my approach to both mindfulness and sustainability.
