The Chemistry of Connection
(Tara Bennett-Goleman & Daniel Goleman with Aaron Wolf)
Learn how our emotional habits can connect us or keep us at a distance — from ourselves and each other. In this combination of lecture, discussion and experiential exercises we’ll integrate an original synthesis of the neuroscience of connection with methods for enhancing relations, whether inner or interpersonal. A map of emotional habits and attachment modes illuminates relationships of all kinds, transforming emotional patterns that separate into ones that connect, enhancing a more genuine interconnection with ourselves and each other, or with the world at large. Now more than ever we need to work to resolve our differences by acknowledging the shared attunement that facilitates empathy and understanding, while not insisting the other person agree with us. In this tenth year of our workshop we will explore these connections in several dimensions.
This is an in-person event.
