Is It Possible to Save the World Without Losing Your Mind? Or Losing Heart?
This short, accessible course addresses your overwhelm, frustration and burnout when trying to be a compassionate human in “a world on fire.”
In just two hours, we will introduce you to different ways to work with the overwhelm — and even demoralization — we often feel when we just don’t know how to be helpful anymore…
But It’s All Too Much!
Of course. We all feel that way.
Between the environment, politics, social discord, cultural fractures, economic chaos… Not to mention trying to help even one other person in our personal or professional life…
It can all feel beyond our abilities.
Half of this is Real. Half Isn’t.
It’s often the case that even ‘highly trained,’ educated and dedicated people approach trying to help from the wrong direction. And this leads to Helper Burnout.
This straightforward and practical course uses the approach presented in The Five Keys to Mindful Communication. Retired Marriage and Family Therapist and senior Buddhist teacher Susan Gillis Chapman developed this unique material by combining traditional wisdom teachings from Tibet and India with a modern Western psychological orientation towards relationship, intimacy and community.
When You Think There’s Nothing You Can Do… There’s Still Something You Can Do
This deep-but-simple method — which applies especially when we’re trying to be of help to others — can allow you to more quickly and easily manage your overwhelm with changing emotional dynamics. It will give you an understanding of how your own mindfulness is the foundation for more truthful, compassionate, and flexible relationships with those you’re working with — and those you’re helping.
And that means you can be both:
- more effective
- and more helpful
Length of Course
This pre-recorded course will take approximately 2hrs total, over a number of lessons which are about 15min each. Our aim is that this course should be workable in the midst of your normal, everyday life without much extra effort or stress.
HOW WILL THIS HELP ME
Those You’re Working With Will Feel | You Will Feel |
---|---|
More relaxed and natural | More relaxed and natural |
That you’re more present | That you’re more present |
That you’re more compassionate | That you’re more compassionate |
Deeply listened to | A better sense of timing |
More trust in your intuition | More willing to take a risk |
In this sample clip from a live webinar, teacher Greg Heffron uses one of the core models you’ll encounter in this Reset Weekend.
In this course you will learn
- How to uncover the unconscious fears that often sabotage your confidence and effectiveness;
- How to build a strategy to anticipate and intervene during overwhelm;
- How to consciously identify when your connection with someone you’re helping is breaking down — and how to assess what to do next;
- The hidden skill in the midst of difficult situations that allows you to respond more confidently and skillfully;
- A path towards being “an unstoppable force for good” — which will allow you to navigate painful and challenging situations without breaking down and burning out.
