Constantly stressed? Shift from Chaos to Calm in 6 weeks 🧘

Do you ever feel like you are spending your entire life on automatic pilot?

You rush through your morning, jump from meeting to meeting, answer endless emails,
and handle daily hassles—only to collapse at night feeling completely drained, yet too
wired to sleep. Your body is moving, but your mind is miles away, trapped in a loop of
planning, worrying, and mental chatter.

Living in a constant state of survival is exhausting. But you don’t have to keep trying to
fix the chaos of the outside world to find internal peace.
Introducing our brand-new virtual course: From Chaos to Calm: A 6-Week Journey to
Mental Clarity.

This is not a course about turning your mind into a blank slate or forcing yourself to
stop thinking. Instead, it is a practical, evidence-based program designed to help you
build the neurological resilience needed to anchor yourself amidst life’s inevitable
storms.

The 1-Hour Format
We know you are busy. That is why each weekly session is exactly 60 minutes long and
structured to give you high-utility, actionable tools without the fluff:
• 20 Mins: An interactive talk unpacking the science of stress, focus, and emotional
intelligence.
• 20 Mins: A live, guided experiential mindfulness meditation practice.
• 20 Mins: A facilitated group Q&A to help you integrate the practices directly into
your real life.

The 6-Week Roadmap
• Week 1: Waking Up from the Storm (Breaking free from autopilot)
• Week 2: Finding Your Anchor (Using the physiology of the breath to reset your
nervous system)
• Week 3: Calming the Body in Motion (Releasing physical tension on the go)
• Week 4: Sorting the Mental Chatter (Stepping out of negative thoughts and
storylines)
• Week 5: Riding the Waves of Emotion (Navigating anxiety and frustration safely)
• Week 6: Sustainable Calm for Real Life (Defeating the inner critic with self-
compassion)

Wednesday Night Meetings

by | Mar 17, 2020 | Classes, News

Sangha meetings are held every Wednesday evening from 7pm to 9pm and can be attended in person or via zoom. 

The in person meetings are held at Peter Carlson’s home at 1818 Carrigan Ave., Winter Park, FL 32789. For those who haven’t been to the site, the house is the only one on the block with a sheet metal roof.  Park on the street or in the driveway—please be considerate of the neighbor’s property.  Walk to the left of the garage and through the gate in the chain link fence; the cottage in the back yard is where we meet.

We will meditate in silence from 7 to 7:45, then, after a break, the Dharma talk will begin.

There will be a small box near the front door for dana, the practice of donating to the teacher out of gratitude for the teaching.  The contribution is not required, and the money will be used to maintain the building and pay for the Zoom subscription.  There is a lending library of Dharma related books in the cottage that operates on a trust basis.
