An interactive explanation of emotion. The Atlas of Emotion was commissioned by the Dalai Lama, his purpose is “ In order to find the new world we needed a map, and in order for us to find a calm mind we need a map of our emotions”. The simple, but not easy, goal of this Atlas is to help us be aware of our emotions. Awareness of our emotions means understanding how they are triggered, what they feel like, and how we respond. Awareness itself is a strategy, it helps us understand our emotional experiences. We do not want to get rid of our emotions, we want strategies that help us respond in helpful, constructive ways.

The Atlas of Emotion is a tool to help people better understand what emotions are, how they are triggered and what their effects are, and how to become aware of emotions before acting on them.

First Annual Women's Retreat

We are planning a summer escape upstate for a full weekend away in an off-grid cabin. We are offering two group therapy sessions geared towards relaxing and resetting. Break-out sessions are scheduled, allowing time for individual and personal self-reflection. With access to over 27 acres of fields and forest, finding that quiet escape will allow you to step back, reflect on possible issues disrupting the balance in your life, open you to new perspectives. and challenge some assumptions that may be getting in your way of personal growth (emotional, physical, social, occupational, relational, financial, etc). Disclaimer: Laughs and good times may be sprinkled in.

Under these circumstances, with all the added demands and tasks, feel free to make some compromises with yourself. 1) Determine your core need; that one thing you must have each day/week. 2) determine your flexible areas; thinking who, what, where, when, and how. For example, if your core need is to eat dinner with your family, then be flexible in where you eat and what you eat. Be patient with yourself and know you are doing the best you can! xoxo- Treehouse
