In this daylong event we’ll discuss the mental processes and early relational wounds underlying maladaptive, compulsive tendencies that are difficult to alleviate. The talks will integrate insights from early Buddhist traditions with contemporary therapeutic modalities, neuropsychology and attachment theory. Various guided visualizations, breathwork sessions and insight meditation practices will be introduced and practiced, as well as times set aside for questions, light movement and community interaction.
