Half-day Online Meditation Workshop
Compassion and Understanding towards what We Don't Like about Self and Others
A guided meditation course on using compassion to help accept and understand what we don't like
Half-day Online Meditation Workshop- Date: Sunday, 25th Aug 2024
- Instructor: Cedric Reeves
- Cost: Sliding scale $30 ~ $120
Join us for this workshop where we will develop compassion by using a traditional Buddhist Meditation practice (Tong Len). Then we will identify aspects of self and other that we don't like. Then in guided meditation we will first develop compassion towards those aspects. Moreover, we'll investigate the difficult experiences that have contributed to these issues/aspetcs.
The intended outcome is more compassion towards self and other and more understanding of causal factors that have contributed to these aspects that we don't like about self or other. We will see the impersonal and causal nature of these aspects and even our own dislike of them.
This program is for people who struggle with acceptance of self and other. Said differently, we'll start working through that which is aversive.

- For anyone who wants to go from insecure to secure attachment.
- Suitable for anyone new to attachment-work, or is already experienced.

workshop Overview
This program is suitable for beginners to meditation and healing work.
Aversion towards aspects of self and/or other is a normal part of our messy human existence. However, for some of us, aversion/non-acceptance of aspects of self and others damages our experience of life and can obstruct the path of healing.
In this course we’ll:
- find and examine these ‘points of aversion’
- see the causal and impersonal nature of these parts of self and other we don’t like
- examine, normalize, and work through our aversion itself
- develop compassion towards self and other
- and apply compassion toward that which we don’t like
This course draws from:
- Buddhist compassion meditation (Tong Len)
- Coherence Therapy (Bruce Ecker et al.)
- Mentalization Based Treatment.
Please note that this workshop is focused on experiential guided meditation plus some basic psycho education on compassion and acceptance.
This workshop is not psychotherapy or a substitute for it.
Miscellaneous Notes

We will be doing deep work. For that reason please feel free to take a break at any point.
