Karuna During Covid: The Power of Self Compassion w/ Gillian Gurish

  • Lexington Power Yoga 1762 Massachusetts Avenue, Suite 204 Lexington, MA, 02421 (map)

Meditation workshop, Saturday 2/27/21

2-3:30pm

In the Buddha's language, the word karuna means compassion -- the ability to respond to suffering with kindness and care. In these exceptionally challenging days when our resilience and wellbeing is constantly tested, the practice of self-compassion is a more critical support system than ever.

Research shows that practicing self-compassion decreases stress, anxiety, and depression, and increases our emotional resilience and wellbeing.

In this workshop, you’ll learn research-backed meditative practices to cultivate self-compassion in your daily life and learn to handle what life throws at you with kindness and strength. (Note: This is a meditation workshop, and no movement will be involved.)

Join Gillian Gurish for this meditation workshop that will offer all of us a deeper dive into a life changing practice.
