Course Overview:

Join us for a transformative workshop that delves into the profound impact of heartbreak on our mental health. This course explores how repeated emotional pain can lead to a state of emotional disconnection and pain, where the ability to keep our hearts open can lead to a state of connection and joy.

What to Expect:

In this workshop, we will examine how frequent experiences of heartbreak—such as personal loss, relationship issues, or unmet expectations—may cause us to become emotionally closed off. Over time, this can lead to a state of emotional coldness or numbness, where we feel disconnected and have trouble offering warmth or compassion to ourselves and others.

Key Themes:

• Understanding Open vs. Closed Heart: Learn how heartbreak may have affected you and how to look for situations that can help lead to a more open and connected lifestyle.  

• Cultural Pressures: Explore how societal expectations to continue with daily responsibilities despite emotional pain can exacerbate disconnection to the world around us.  How can we reconnect so that recovery from stress, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues become less prevalent in our day to day lives.

• Emotional Impact: Discover how nurturing emotional well-being can lead to:

  Balanced Connection: Learning to stay emotionally open, allowing for meaningful connections with others while also honoring your own needs.

  Healthy Empathy: Developing the ability to maintain compassion and understanding for others while also attending to your own emotional well-being.

  Engaged Living: Embracing a fuller, more vibrant experience of life and relationships through balanced emotional openness and self-awareness.
