“Why aren’t we taught to love ourselves?” is a valid cultural question to ask, and equally important is the question of how to love ourselves, precisely: what techniques can deepen our benevolent attitude towards ourselves as a sentient beings endowed with basic goodness?
This 3-day online retreat with Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) teacher Michael Lobsang Tenpa will include a deep, practice-oriented exploration of a number of important psychological skills related to self-directed kindness. Over the course of 12 sessions, we will explore and unpack such important skills as tenderness (known also as ‘affection’, or tsewa in Tibetan), loving kindness, and compassion, all as they are applied to ourselves.
