Welcome to

Ecological Distress, Awe, and Emotional Wellbeing with Dr Eve Ekman

An Online Course from Samadhi

About This Course

Explore the interconnection between our emotions and the natural world (and its state) with emotions researcher and meditation teacher Dr. Eve Ekman. 

The relationship between our emotional wellbeing and the natural world is a tricky but incredibly important one. It has multiple dimensions—from environmental anxiety to the inflow of emotional sustenance that we can receive by connecting to nature in small and large ways (even our imagination). 

In this open session, emotional researcher and meditation teacher Dr. Eve Ekman will guide the participants in exploring these important connections, drawing on her own experience, research and the practical tools of the Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) approach.

David Oromith

David is an experienced Buddhist contemplative and meditation guide who has studied and taught internationally for several years. He is the Co-Founder of Samadhi and a qualified mindfulness teacher, Mental Health First Aider, and an active member of the Association for Spiritual Integrity. His teaching style is clear and practical, and his warm and humorous approach makes him a popular mindfulness teacher. In his own practise and teachings, David focusses on the core themes of Early Buddhism and emphasises the practices of Shamatha (meditative quiescence), and its union with Vipassana on the Four Applications of Mindfulness and the Four Immeasurables – which presents a direct path leading to the realisation of our deepest nature and the potentials of consciousness, and closely follows how the Buddha himself attained enlightenment. He considers himself to be the fortunate student of many teachers, including his root lama, Lama Alan Wallace.
