Transforming Our Internalized Misogyny: Mindfulness for Women
9/21/2019
9:00 AM
-
5:00 PM
at Crossings Center for Healing Traditions (Silver Spring)
Based on a class the author-instructor has been teaching to women for 25 years, this workshop addresses the ways we’ve internalized the misogynistic views of our patriarchic culture and developed habits of discounting ourselves, giving our power away, striving to be perfect and pleasing, and becoming dependent on others, rather than ourselves, for validation and approval. Mindfulness has the power to free us from the oppressive habits of the mind’s conditioning, allowing natural access to authentic self and the wisdom of our true nature.
