Emotional Versatility Classes

This course focuses on nine inborn emotions in ten segments: interest, joy, anger, distress, surprise, shame, fear, disgust and contempt. The goals of the class are to cultivate healthier management of our relationships.

Each segment will focus on understanding how the inborn emotions work to mold our experiences of life, and how both the light and dark aspects affect us and our environment. The sessions will be mostly experiential, based in empathic sharing in pairs and group discussion. An opportunity is always provided for participants to process their own challenging emotional encounters.
