The “Anxiety Pandemic” – Manage, Transform and Move Beyond.

Sunday, November 15th with David Raithby & Jennifer Hilton

Even before COVID-19, people talked about anxiety as a growing challenge for themselves and others in their life. With COVID-19, almost everybody has experienced some level of isolation, uncertainty, overwhelm, and what might be called helplessness, all of which are the hallmarks of anxiety.  

This 5-hour event, ‘Anxiety and Beyond’, hosted by The Haven addresses the current high level of individual and societal anxiety and, more importantly, explores how we can go beyond  anxiety into transformative and life-affirming understandings and actions. 

Explore a truly unique and fulfilling perspective on anxiety, while offering valuable information, vital connection with others, practical and usable “take-home” tools, and a mix of creative, embodied and experiential learning opportunities. 

‘Anxiety and Beyond’ assists in first managing anxiety, and then in its transformation, in moving beyond.  

In Anxiety & Beyond, you will: 

• Question and explore ideas about anxiety, and contribute your own 
• Engage with others in an encouraging and meaningful way  
• Learn to be more present and aware, and to expand your capacity for elevated energy 
• Learn tools for moving from the contraction of anxiety to being more open, responsive and expanded  
• Open the door to what waits for you beyond your own anxiety
