But aside from sending positive thoughts and prayers, what can you do?

How do you get through the sadness, anger, fear, and more that come up with each new headline?

Shame is a self-conscious emotion that arises from the sense that something is fundamentally wrong with oneself. If you are suffering from shame, you may feel inadequate and full of self-doubt.

Unsurprisingly, shame has been linked to depression, inferiority, helplessness, self-consciousness and interpersonal anxiety.

The good news is that there is a healthy way to process shame and get it out of our bodies so that we can alleviate these negative emotions and find peace.

Why Attend “How Trauma, Anger, and Shame Impact Us”

During this free online trauma healing event with expert Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein and founder of Sounds True, Tami Simon, you'll learn about different ways to navigate these challenging feelings, release trauma and restore your body’s own innate wisdom.

Here's just a little bit of what they'll cover:

• Get answers to common questions like “What are the symptoms of unhealed trauma?” and “How can I overcome shame?”
• Discover how to transform shame into a source of strength
• Learn how to befriend your nervous system to release anger
• Gain tips for self-regulation to prevent yourself from feeling “emotionally hijacked”

You are invited to a free online watch party for “Mission: Joy – Finding Happiness In Troubled Times”

It’s inevitable that we will face hardships in life. But what if we can turn those challenges into lessons to help us live more joyfully… even in the face of adversity?

Who better to teach us how than two of the world’s greatest spiritual teachers, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

In the award-winning documentary, Mission: JOY, these two Nobel Peace Prize laureates unite for one final mission: to show us how to live with greater joy, presence, peace, and compassion even in the face of life’s challenges—from the extraordinary to the mundane.

This film was inspired by the #1 New York Times bestselling book, The Book of Joy, coauthored by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Abrams.

Join us as we are brought inside the poignant and laugher-filled friendship of the two self-described ‘mischievous brothers,’ who have faced:

• Oppression
• Exile
• Death threats
• Cancer
• And more

…Yet came out the other side as two of the most joyful human beings on the planet.

Their life stories and practical wisdom remind us that Joy is an inside job, that Joy and sorrow are inseparable, and that one of Joy’s secrets is a deep connection with others.

Produced by an Academy Award-winning team, invite your friends or make some new ones – you won’t want to miss it!

Even though those things pull us away from ourselves, there’s something that can always bring us back in: breathwork.

Why Attend Breathwork to Relieve Stress & Anxiety

Did you know that the way you breathe might be the most powerful factor on your journey of personal and spiritual transformation?

Intentional breathing sounds simple, and in many ways it is, but that doesn’t mean it isn't scary for some people… Especially if you’ve never tried it before.

That’s why we’ve connected with a compassionate, experienced, powerful guide to help you come back to yourself—safely and gently. In these free live breathwork session, you will be guided, held, and nurtured by breathwork expert Jennifer Patterson.

Jennifer began using breathwork after realizing she hadn’t addressed years of trauma resulting in complex PTSD. So she understands the fear of breathwork can be more intense if you’ve suffered trauma or otherwise tend to stay out of your body completely.

It can feel like you no longer know how it feels to be grounded or embodied, because it’s been too triggering, but that can change, starting with your breath.

If you’re curious about breathwork and would like to explore what it’s all about, this is your time. Breathwork is an experiential practice, so do what you can to attend this live experience with Jennifer as your guide.

What You'll Learn During Breathwork to Relieve Stress & Anxiety

This is a place for you to find compelling insight that is informative, healing, and likely to spark inspiration for your own transformative breathwork practice. It's also an opportunity to come back to yourself with loving care and in community with others.

Here's just a little bit of what you'll learn & experience:

• A simple breathwork practice to counteract anxiety and reduce stress by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system
• Guidance on how you can use conscious breathing for self-care
• Insights for using the breath to get out of your head and find home and comfort to your body
• Bring in new opportunities for self-inquiry and growth
• Experience relief from pain and suffering using a guided practice that releases endorphins which naturally lift your mood & nurture inner wellness
• Increased focus, awareness, clarity and self-insight

Though the benefits of breathwork are well documented and fairly universal, not all approaches to breathwork are the same.

During this free spiritual healing workshop, you'll learn Jennifer's unique methodology.

About Your Facilitator – Jennifer Patterson

Jennifer Patterson is a breathwork facilitator, grief worker, herbalist, and writer. She has facilitated workshops at healing centers, LGBTQ centers, colleges and universities, veterans’ hospitals, and sexual violence resource centers. Jennifer speaks across the country, and her writing has been published widely. She is the author of the book The Power of Breathwork: Simple Practices to Promote Wellbeing and edited the anthology Queering Sexual Violence: Radical Voices from Within the Anti-Violence Movement.

Millions of us embrace it to try to cultivate peace of mind, but we don’t often recognize the situations in which it is not the right fit for our current state.

Meditation wasn’t originally created with trauma sufferers in mind.

What You'll Learn During “When Meditation Doesn't Work”

When we’re struggling with depression, finding our footing after a difficult breakup, or healing from a traumatic experience, we’re at a greater challenge to find stillness.

Research in the last few decades has expanded our understanding of the nervous system, creating various techniques to help us self-regulate and nurture greater balance.

Many researchers and clinicians are learning that meditation isn’t always the wisest choice for self-care.

Don’t throw away your meditation books, but be aware that meditation might not always be the best thing to do for yourself. For example, if you try to meditate for five minutes and your mind won’t stop racing, or if you start to feel overwhelmed or spacey on the cushion, these are signs from your nervous system that it may be dysregulated (through no fault of your own!).

The good news is there’s more research now than ever before on how the nervous system operates—and an array of practical tools that have been developed, which you can use to bring your nervous system back to a regulated state.

Sounds True founder Tami Simon will be joined by Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, who’s a seasoned trauma expert and a meditation teacher, for a discussion that will help you discern when it’s more skillful not to meditate and what you can do at those times to nurture your well-being. With over 30 years of meditation experience, Dr. Rutstein can offer insights to help avoid techniques that can be triggering, harmful, or lead to shame.

Class Topics for “When Meditation Doesn't Work”

• Situations where meditating is not a great choice for self-care, and what you can do instead
• How meditation can make things worse for people who are dealing with trauma
• The risks to know before taking a deep dive into meditation practice or going on a retreat
• The neuroscientific research that informs how psychologists understand the human nervous system and how to regulate it successfully
• Effective and evidence-based techniques that you can add to your tool kit to regulate yourself and bring balance into your life

The post When Meditation Doesn’t Work – How Your Nervous System Keeps You From Stillness appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

Do you find yourself acting day after day as if you need to prove yourself worthy?

Or perhaps you have a hard time just being authentic with others, but you’re not sure why.

Different pressures can operate under the surface in your relationships, and can be frustrating, exhausting, or even demoralizing.

Most of us don’t realize that these pressures can (and do) develop quite naturally in the wake of being in a relationship that did you some harm—whether you were neglected or hurt by a parent, or abused by a person you trusted (emotionally or physically).

What if you could find a way to heal from the trauma that caused you to feel and act this way?

What if you could disentangle the effects of the past, so you could make more fulfilling relationship choices in the present and in the future?

What You'll Learn During “Healing Trauma Bonds” with Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein

Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, who has been working as a trauma therapist for more than 35 years, is joining Sounds True founder Tami Simon to shed some much-needed light on this phenomena, which is known as trauma bonding.

Dr. Rutstein will discuss how you can identify the effects of trauma bonding on you, and what you can do to begin to heal the patterning that relational trauma imprinted in your nervous system—even if it was decades ago.

Here's just a little bit of what they will share:

• What a trauma bond is and how it forms in response to abuse or other interpersonal wounding
• How trauma bonding gets stuck in our nervous systems and spreads into the ways we act in relationships and even how we choose our partners
• Why trauma bonds create pressure inside us to prove our own goodness, rather than seek healthy, respectful relationships
• How to overcome the shame caused by trauma, so we can create relationships that foster our safety, well-being, happiness, and a sense of our own true worth
• How to make sense of why you feel attached to someone even if they’ve treated you badly (even to the point of abuse)
• What you can do to break the cycle of toxic romantic partnerships and toxic patterns with bosses or coworkers
• Ways you can protect yourself from those who contributed to your trauma
• Methods to identify cyclical patterns of abuse in our extended families and communities

After you register, you'll be emailed the Zoom link to attend live. If you can't make it for any reason, register now so you can get access to the recording afterwards.

Exploring Childhood Roots for Adult Trauma Bonding

A child’s life depends on their parents’ or caregivers’ acceptance and love.

But what happens if a child has to rely on someone who is easily upset, erratic, neglectful, or even abusive? The child interprets this situation to mean that they (and not the adult) need to somehow “make things right?”

This painful belief can mushroom into:

• Frustrating relationship tendencies
• Hypervigilance
• People-pleasing
• Over-explaining
• Defending oneself unnecessarily

Some may even pick romantic partners who activate their childhood wounds, because their unconscious mind still wants to make things right.

If this was you – know you weren’t ”wrong” in the first place.

Developing these patterns, otherwise known as trauma bonding, is a natural way of protecting yourself when you’re young.

If you think trauma bonds are still in play behind the scenes in your relationships – whether with your partner, colleagues, or children – we invite you to join us for a free webinar with Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, a trauma therapist with more than 35 years of experience.

They will be discussing what you can do to begin to heal the patterns it sets into motion, so you can become freer and more at ease in your relationships. You'll also better understand the attachment patterns created by repeated physical or emotional trauma that is followed by positive reinforcement.

Trauma bonds can be hard to spot (and even harder to break free from), so we hope you can join Jeffrey and Tami live for this insightful discussion.

Once you have greater awareness, anytime you’re faced with a challenge at work or in your business, you have the opportunity to create more freedom, more choice, and more fulfilling results.

One of the keys to developing greater awareness is to learn how to manage your body’s command center: your nervous system.

What You'll Learn During “Managing Your Nervous System At Work”

Better workdays from the inside out. There’s a lot of focus on achieving work-life balance, but what about work-work balance? How can you manage stress and challenges to be a better you at work every day?

During this live experience with Tami Simon (founder of Sounds True) and Dr. Jeremy Hunter (founding director of the Executive Mind Leadership Institute), you will discover:

• Why mastering yourself begins with managing your nervous system, the fundamental infrastructure we use to take in information, make sense of what’s going on around us, and take action in the world
• 3 principles for managing your inner game—the emotional reactions, the stories you tell yourself, and even the physical sensations in your body that all influence your choices, actions, and results
• How to deal with what’s uncomfortable (something very few of us are ever taught) so that you decrease struggle, redirect your attention to what nourishes you, and make more intentional choices that can change the future

“Practicing mindfulness in daily life is not about being calm, it’s about being aware—aware of your emotional reactions, the stories you tell yourself, even the physical sensations in your body that all influence how you perceive what’s going on. From there, you can construct a more fulfilling experience.” – Jeremy Hunter, PhD

Managing your nervous system is a learned skill that can directly improve your ability to handle challenges and stress at work.

Daily Schedule for the Wisdom of Pema Chodron Summit

Day 1: Making Peace With Things As They Are

As human beings, we want to cling to what is safe and familiar, even though we know change is inevitable. Sadly, this clinging causes us a lot of pain.

Learn how we can let go of expectations and soften into a more accepting attitude towards uncertainty and change. Discover how this can help us adjust to life’s difficulties with greater joy, lightness, and ease.

Day 2: Befriending Ourselves

Despite our society’s growing awareness of the importance of self-care, many of us find loving ourselves to be the hardest task of all.

Discover how making friends with yourself is the vital first step towards loving the world. Explore ways to express tenderness and care for yourself, and discover how that is the secret to weathering difficult times with greater equanimity and grace.

Day 3: Awakening Our Hearts

Once we experience that first spark of spiritual awareness in our hearts, we need to find a way to nurture it and help it to grow into a powerful fire of compassion.

Explore how to fan the flames of bodhicitta, the awakened heart of compassion and wisdom, and consider practical ways to develop this quality within your own life.

Day 4: Working With Obstacles

When we encounter difficult emotions — fear, anger, sadness — it’s easy to shut down, numb out, or just run for the hills.

Discover how the very things that challenge us most are also golden opportunities to wake up to the truth of impermanence and connect with the life-changing power of compassion.

Day 5: Trusting Your True Nature

We often find ourselves caught up in our surface level experience — letting our thoughts and emotions define who we are.

Learn how to nurture your innate goodness — your natural compassion, wisdom, and love. When we trust our capacity for these qualities, and bring awareness to them in our day-to-day lives, we move through the world with lightness, joy, and freedom.

Speaker Schedule Overview – Radically Reframing Aging Summit

Day 1: How to Radically Reframe Aging

Session 1: With Dan Buettner & Laura L. Carstensen, PhD

With life spans growing ever longer, the opportunities we have for our “third act” of life have never been greater. Maria speaks with Dan Buettner and Dr. Laura L. Carstensen about why our world must undergo a massive shift in consciousness to better support our increasing longevity, and what we can learn from cultures that are living the longest, healthiest lives.

Session 2: Jamie Lee Curtis & Vanessa Williams

Navigating the physical and emotional effects of aging can be difficult for any person—even more so when it’s happening in the public eye. Maria speaks with icons Jamie Lee Curtis and Vanessa Williams about how this unique experience has shaped their perspective on aging, what fuels their inner fire, and why age has given them a stronger sense of freedom and self.

Day 2: Spirituality & Mental Fitness: Keeping the Mind Your Friend

Session 1: With Uma Naidoo, MD & Emily Anhalt, PsyD

Many of us believe that we cannot truly change our habits once we reach a certain age. Not so, says Dr. Emily Anhalt and Dr. Uma Naidoo, who join Maria to explore a holistic and proactive approach to wellness that includes everything from what we eat to how we process emotions. They discuss how small changes we make today can prepare us for a long, healthy, and happy future.

Session 2: Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP & Goldie Hawn

The brain controls nearly every aspect of our daily life and actions, yet it is entirely possible to shape our brain to create the life we truly want. In this inspiring interview, Maria speaks with Deepak Chopra and Goldie Hawn about the power of mindfulness and intentional action to nurture good health, emotional wellness, and spiritual joy at every stage of life.

Day 3: Ignite Your Creativity, Curiosity & Imagination

Session 1: Martha Beck, PhD & Jim Kwik

We tend to think of play as something for the very young, but what if play is in fact the secret to staying young? Here, Maria speaks with Jim Kwik and Dr. Martha Beck, two intensely creative people who reveal how curiosity and imagination make us younger—mentally and even physically. Learn why creativity is good for the mind and spirit, and why you are the greatest project of your life.

Session 2: Norma Kamali & Anne Lamott

Our culture likes to look at aging through the lens of outward appearance, but Anne Lamott and Norma Kamali have come to view aging as an inside job. Here, they discuss how they have built lives of deep fulfillment, drawing upon wisdom and self-knowledge; how the realities of their age differ from the expectations of their youth; and their desire to live in full wakefulness at every moment.

Day 4: The Science and Secrets of Super-Agers

Session 1: David A. Sinclair, PhD, AO & Joseph C. Maroon, MD & Lottie Tartell

We all want to live our longest, healthiest, and most productive life possible. The question is, how much of the aging process can we control? Maria speaks with super-ager Lottie Tartell and octogenarian neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon about the secrets behind their longevity, and Dr. Joseph Sinclair shares new scientific concepts that may give us all the power to be super-agers.

Session 2: William Shatner

William Shatner has had one of Hollywood’s most legendary and multifaceted careers. Yet, at age 90, Shatner believes he still has much more to experience. He speaks with Maria Shriver about what he’s learned, what he’d still like to do, why he believes saying “yes” is critically important to staying alive, and why “everything is an adventure”—no matter how old we are.

Day 5: Embracing an Engaged Lifestyle of Diet, Sleep, Movement & Purpose

Session 1: Frank Lipman, MD & Wendy Suzuki, PhD

Much of the conversation around aging has to do with increasing lifespan, but according to Dr. Frank Lipman, what we should really be focused on is increasing our “healthspan.” He joins Maria Shriver to discuss practical tips for achieving this, while Dr. Wendy Suzuki offers a look into anxiety and aging—and how we can harness this emotion into a superpower as we age.

Session 2: Rob Lowe

Through his many artistic and spiritual endeavors, actor Rob Lowe has passionately built a life of his own creation. In this one-on-one with Maria, Rob opens up about his journey with aging and the many ways aging affects men in particular. They also discuss the challenges of staying relevant in a youth-focused culture, and why aging is an opportunity to grow into the people we want to be.

Session 3: Beverly Johnson & María Elena Salinas

Join Beverly Johnson and María Elena Salinas for an empowering conversation about purpose, reinvention, and aging on your own terms. As two women who have repeatedly broken barriers and defied expectations put in place by society, they share some of the lessons they’ve learned about taking risks, filling the soul with meaningful work, and choosing a path of growth.

Closing Reading: Eugenia Zukerman

As an inspiring send-off to the summit, join Eugenia Zukerman—a writer, flutist, and former television correspondent who is currently living with Alzheimer’s Disease—for a reading from her new book of poetry, Like Falling Through a Cloud: A Lyrical Memoir of Coping with Forgetfulness, Confusion, and a Dreaded Diagnosis. In spite of her cognitive decline, Eugenia has chosen to remain creatively engaged with life, and is spreading a message of positivity and hope to others facing the challenge of Alzheimer’s Disease.
