Giving up without Giving Up: Meditation and Depressions

A DAY FOR REFLECTION, SHARING AND PEACE on Sat 19 October 2019

‘What if the suffering that we call depression contains experiences and lessons without which we cannot be fully alive?’

In the course of the day we will explore such questions together in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Our main resource will be the shared practice of meditation. Meditators from all traditions are welcome, as are those new to meditation.

The day will be facilitated by:

Edmund Giszter, psychotherapist and meditator
