Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this self improvement class:

Neuroscientific insights and new fields such as “Health Psychology” and “Learned Optimism” have recently been revealing that people can learn to change their thinking and behavior in ways that revitalize the brain and enhance happiness and well-being. 

Eastern wisdom teachings have long taught “skillful methods” for the study and transformation of the mind/body. Using techniques drawn from modern positive psychology, mindfulness meditation, yogic traditions, creative thinking, and “non-dual” spiritual teachings, we will discover how we can regulate our mind/body states and develop trust in our unconscious to boost our creativity, vitality, and well-being. 

We will also explore the neuroscience of a mindful brain and discuss moods, dissatisfaction, contentment, and happiness from both Western and Buddhist perspectives. This workshop is for those in helping professions interested in using these practices to work with patients and those simply interested in acquiring powerful self-healing techniques.

Recommended reading: 
  • Wise Mind/Open Mind by Ron Alexander
  • The Art of Happiness: Teachings of Buddhist Psychology by Mirko Fryba
  • Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki.

    Reviewed by Wildra R. on 5/12/2019
    This was my first course with Course Horse. I was optimistic and looking forward to this day after reading the course title and description. I paid a babysitter for the day to care for my 3 little ones. I reserved my Uber early to make sure I was on time. The facility is beautiful! The gift/book shop cafe is so well kept and cozy. The actual workshop started ok. I was disappointed to see that there were only six other women registered for this course. The instructor began his lecture, reminded me of my study hall college days. I took out my pad and tried taking notes, but found it very difficult to follow. First, the presenter just seemed to be rambling on and sidetracking. In addition, the street noise was unbearable as the windows were kept wide open. The instructor then began a 25-minute guided meditation, which was good. However, the lights were on. I’ve meditated many times, but never with the lights on. We then spoke about our meditation experience for about 20 minutes. Then again we did another 25 minute meditation. This did not make sense to me. We then went to lunch and came back to an extremely dense 15-slide, or so, PPT which the instructor read to us word for word. I have 2 masters and have been a teacher for over 16 years. I felt like I needed a PHD in neuroscience to understand this presentation. He went over every minute detail of the brain’s composition. It was impossible for me to process all of this. The final portion was a 40 minute meditation. I could not take it anymore and left before commencing. The presenter was clearly knowledgeable; however, there was a huge discrepancy between the course description and the actual workshop. Aside from the first meditation, I do not feel that I gained practical knowledge that I can apply to my life to improve my mood, mind and overall wellness. I’m very disappointed. I’m out $150 for the course, $120 for childcare, $60 for transportation and I lost a day with my family.
