EMOTIONAL HEALING
AS PART OF THE YEAR TO WAKE
an online monthlong course
April 9 – 30, 2026
What would it look like if you lived a life that felt calm and at ease?
Sounds impossible, right? Too many strong emotions!
But we can transform our view that our emotions are obstacles—they’re actually invitations to understand ourselves more deeply.
In this four-week practice intensive, you’ll learn to meet your feelings with mindfulness and compassion, transforming reactivity into wisdom.
Through four new guided meditations and weekly live sessions, we’ll explore how to soften resistance, release self-judgment, and cultivate emotional resilience.
Over the course of just one month you’ll come away with practical tools to stay grounded amid life’s ups and downs—and a renewed sense of kindness toward yourself and others.
Join us to find a better way to working with your strong emotions.

Every Thursday a 20-30 minute class goes live on our community website, inviting you to participate at your own pace.
Every Monday you can attend a live guided meditation bringing our learnings onto the cushion and, thus, into everyday life.

“For the four years I've been studying with Lodro, he always pushes me towards more compassion and sensitivity for myself and others. In his teaching, Lodro consistently provides the perfect mix of traditional wisdom and contemporary experience, showing that what we think are our oh-so-modern problems are really pretty much the same as the ones humans have always been encountering.”
