Overcoming Anger
Catskill Getaway Weekend & Workshop with Zoe Greenbaum
October 4 – 6 | Registration Now Open
Start your weekend getaway with our popular Food for Thought Friday evening series. In our Saturday morning workshop, learn how meditation can help us solve daily problems and find happiness. Spend your afternoon exploring our woodlands, or the charm of the Catskills. On Sunday, set a peaceful tone for your return by coming to our Sunday Prayers for World Peace class with Sara Wendt. You can book all three for a complete retreat, along with accommodations, or come for any part of the weekend!
Saturday Workshop:
Learn the art of acceptance. Patient acceptance is not gritting our teeth and putting up with things. Instead, it means learning to wholeheartedly welcome whatever arises in our life. Instead of constantly getting upset about inconveniences and running away from difficulties, we can learn to respond confidently and strongly to whatever challenges we encounter. The teachings on how to practice patient acceptance dissolve away the intensity of our anger. We can learn why anger and non-acceptance only cause problems in our life and how to develop an intention to let these experiences go. In addition, we can see where anger comes from psychologically and how to oppose it in a healthy and thorough way.
