A New Paradigm For Emotional Work And Mental Health

(Also see meetup.com where most people seem to have signed up)

Hey everyone,

For our monthly workshop, @Glenn Gregor will interactively teach us how to understand better why we mentally suffer and heal ourselves by thinking about emotional work in a new way:

• Instead of looking for what makes us happy, understanding what blocks us from innate peace and contentment, which causes us mental suffering.
• Realizing that emotional work can be a way to look into our mental blockages and unblock us.
• Common ways people "get stuck" with emotional work and understanding that emotional work can really be effective and have huge upsides for yourself and others.
• How to do effective emotional work that will have long-lasting results, exploring various emotional work techniques.
• The idea of “Emotional Work Retreats” and Glenn's experience doing a ~2-week one together with @Anton Rodenhauser.
• Why, for most people, emotional retreats might have better long-lasting effects than meditation retreats.

We will also listen to an “emotional work meditation”, which is like a meditative guided therapy session.

You're welcome, even if you've never been to a meetup before or don't feel like you'd fit in. Here is the link to our last event, maybe you know someone already: AI Risk Scenario Roleplay
