We live in a culture that says the best way to respond to difficulty is to just “get over it”. We say “I’m dealing with it” or we expel effort to seem unaffected as a way to ignore and avoid pain but there is a difference between dealing with it or getting over it and going through it. Join guest speaker Angel Foster in exploring why emotions are good, safe, and healthy; what gets in the way of emotion; and how do we teach our bodies to trust this truth. We will explore where spiritual understanding around suffering meets neuroscience. Mindfulness meditation practice for navigating difficult times will be offered. Angel Foster is a local mental health therapist and Christian Minister at Community of Christ Mount Pleasant.
