Dear friends,
Another short announcement that is dear to my heart:
One of the biggest projects I'm involved with currently (as an organizer and one of the co-instructors) is the upcoming Cultivating Emotional Balance Teacher Training (starting in October 2025) — a year-long program for those who want to share emotional awareness and emotional balancing skills in an educational, medical, corporate or counseling setting.
Originally developed by Paul Ekman, Alan Wallace, and Eve Ekman at thee request of the Dalai Lama, this program has become one of my personal favorite modalities for the cultivation of meta-skills, applicable all across the board of different life situations.
The teacher training includes two in-person retreats to be held close to Mexico City + a year of online classes and activities. It is also one of the best ways I know to hone one's skills as a meditation facilitator, since it relies on an evidence-based approach but also has roots in the Tibetan tradition of practice.
