Freedom From Anxiety: A Mindful Approach To Inner Calm

With Lodro Rinzler

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define us. This course offers a path to transform our relationship with anxiety through mindfulness, self-compassion, and meditation principles. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, we learn how to meet it with an open heart, using time-tested practices to cultivate resilience, clarity, and ease.
