Join us in January 2021 for a 5-week course on cultivating Emotional Resilience.
Life has its ups and downs, and for many, even an ordinary day can lead to one emotional rollercoaster after another. Being unable to regulate our emotions and having sudden changes in mood can leave us feeling mentally and physically exhausted and with a desire to escape or run away.
Our emotions are important - they shape our experience of our reality. They can be wonderful, and they can be unbearable. Sometimes we want to hold on to them forever, and other times we want rid of them. Whatever the experience, for most of us, emotions seem beyond our control, as if they happen to us, and we have no say in whether they stay or go.
Our 'Becoming Bulletproof: Emotional Resilience' program is all about cultivating a profound sense of mental and emotional balance. It's not about suppressing negative emotions, but about learning to experience and govern our emotions in a healthy, dynamic way.
During this 5-week course, drawing on practical experience of meditation, psychology, and Buddhist wisdom, we will cultivate the ability of the mind and body to maintain equilibrium and flexibility in the face of challenge and change. Meditation will help us to deepen our understanding of emotions, and discover the ability to regulate our emotional responses. Cultivating this emotional balance will promote physical health, and will be a prerequisite for enhancing personal wellbeing and growth.
Meditation is, very simply put, about developing exceptional mental health and wellbeing and experiencing the genuine wellbeing that comes from having a wonderfully balanced and healthy mind.
- B. Alan Wallace

"Dassetu’s guided meditations help bring peace and calm to a busy mind. I highly recommend his retreats and will be attending future events. I enjoyed his relaxation day retreat and was able to completely disconnect and be present. I also met a wonderful group of people, I know I will remain friends with.
Thank you Dassetu for the wonderful work you do. Namaste. 🙏🏻🦋"
