Using Anger To Build Something Beautiful
With Jen KnoxAnger can manifest in many ways. We are often urged to conquer or suppress extreme emotions. In this class, however, we will explore anger with a more curious mind. Anger does not have to burn us from the inside out. Together, we will allow our anger to come safely to the surface, and then find a way to build a new perspective from examining what feeds our flames. We are our own best teacher, and this class will be a reminder of all the power that lives within and how to use our energy in self-nurturing ways. Let's practice together with an open mind and open heart.
Anger can take a toll on our mental and physical health; in this course, we will explore tools to safely explore our anger and build from it a more harmonious life.
