Psychological and Spiritual tools for Turbulent Times

“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power dominates, there love is lacking. One is the shadow of the other.” - Carl Jung

Political volatility, moral uncertainty, constant media exposure, and a deep sense that familiar safeguards are no longer reliable are taking a quiet toll on all of us. For some, this shows up as despair, for others, as numbness, withdrawal, depression, or exhaustion. 

Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, contemplative practice, and decades of clinical experiences, this seminar offers grounded, practical tools to help you stay emotionally regulated, morally awake, and spiritually anchored during these unprecedented times.  When the external world becomes unpredictable, the ability to step back from your own mind becomes an act of survival. 

This seminar is an invitation to pause, to reorient and reconnect to your inner core without denying reality or retreating from life. 

In this seminar, we will explore:

• Why heightened anxiety and despair are understandable reactions to collective instability.

• How to work with fear, anger and overwhelm without suppressing or amplifying them. 

• The practice of mindfulness and metacognition - learning to observe your thoughts and emotional reactions without being controlled by them. 

• How to stay informed and engaged without living in a constant state of alarm. 

• Methods to cultivate your inner authority, dignity, and compassion in times of social and political unrest. 

You will learn: 

• Simple nervous system practices that restore calm and clarity

• How to recognize when your mind is reacting rather than responding.

• How to relate to troubling thoughts as transitory mental events rather than absolute truths

• How to remain open-hearted without becoming emotionally depleted. 

• How to translate inner stability into grounded, ethical action in the world. 

This seminar is not about avoiding what’s occurring - it’s about learning how to meet it with deeper wisdom.
