Workshop – Choosing Love Over Fear: The 4 S Committee

Scientists have often asserted that humans are designed to always be on the lookout for threats. Our reptilian brain’s automatic function triggers this mindset to protect us and create evolutionary survival. For the most part\, this instinct occurs to us as an acute fear. The challenge for most of us is not to let this acute fear become chronic.

If that is true\, how can we become more ‘alive\,’ generative\, and productive? This workshop will give participants a reflective experience to develop a practice for overcoming this instinctual process (not eliminate). Although this is only an introduction\, authentic engagement in the dialog in this session will begin awakening to the energy love. At the very least\, participants will walk away with a strategy to mitigate the struggles life produces\, generating chronic fear. You will experience what it takes to navigate to a more generative\, positive outcome and experiences. It will help deal with struggles\, things to let go of\, the anxiety it causes as a result of letting go and accepting the gift of life\, which can be experienced as love.

Essentially you will be guided on how easy\, yet challenging\, it is to choose love over fear.

We will explore:

Struggles – What are we struggling against?

Sacrifice – What behavior\, mindset\, way of being must we let go of?

Suffering – Why can suffering seem so intense\, and how can we think about it differently?

Surrender – How do we position our mindset\, mental condition to receive what life has for us?

This workshop was created and will be led by Dr. Gerry Bouey. You can learn more about Dr. Bouey’s background and experience here.
