Self-Acceptance & Self-Confidence
- A Buddhist Perspective -
with Resident Teacher, Gen Chodor
Many of us struggle with self-criticism at times. It can weaken our confidence and make it hard to believe that real change is possible. When we see ourselves as fixed by our limitations, it’s easy to feel discouraged and lose motivation.
In this course, you’ll explore how to stop defining yourself by your faults and limitations and instead identify with your deep spiritual potential. Through meditation, we learn to recognize this potential directly and gradually develop an authentic, grounded confidence. In this way, we can grow into the more resilient, joyful, and compassionate person we aspire to be.
Everyone welcome!
