Resilience Club: Emotional Resilience for Politically Charged Times – An Online Urban Retreat
with Ralph De La Rosa
Saturday, October 24th, 2020 | 10:00am – 5:00pm
The emotional impact of the election season lands on us when we already feel threadbare. It’s never been so tough to maintain wellbeing, clarity, compassion, and non-reactivity — and yet it’s never been more important.
Join us for an online day of truly integrated practice and community connection informed by our complex needs. The day will range from restful somatic meditation and breathwork to insightful emotional process to inner anti-racist/oppression work to lively discussions and breakout rooms. We will also take breaks throughout the day.

Teacher(s)
Ralph De La Rosa, LCSW
Ralph De La Rosa (they/he) is the author of three books, including the new Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Compassion (foreword by Richard Schwartz). He is a psychotherapist in private practice and a longtime meditation teacher known for his radically honest and humorous approach.
Perhaps most crucial is that Ralph walks the path of outshining trauma alongside the people he works with. He is a survivor of PTSD, heroin addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and liver failure. Walking through these matters with the help of profound therapists and mentors has been an empowerment no school could have offered. It is simply part of his path to offer back what he’s been shown.
Ralph has mentored personally with Richard Schwartz, founder of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy, known for its efficacy in healing trauma. Ralph has completed an invite-only advanced teacher training with Jack Kornfield. His work has been featured in GQ, CNN, NY Post, Tricycle, Mindful Magazine, and beyond.
He began practicing meditation in 1996 and has trained in a spectrum of yogic and healing traditions, including devotional Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. Ralph began teaching Buddhist-inspired meditation in 2008. Today, Ralph identifies as practitioner and teacher of human spirituality. He teaches a highly specialized hybrid of IFS and Buddhism to offer students a direct path of conscious evolution and self-discovery.
Ralph is an intersectional activist, musician, wannabe acrobat, and outdoor enthusiast currently residing in Seattle, WA.
