Online: Mindfulness, Neuroplasticity and Emotional Resilience
with Dr. Paul Epstein, ND
Saturday, October 29th, 2022 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
Train your mind and heart, change your brain for health and healing.
Training in mindful awareness brings the choice of relating to our experience with wisdom and compassion which changes the brain creating new neural pathways. Evidence shows that mindfulness increases emotional resilience which supports us to learn to “roll with the punches” and better cope with stress and adversity so we can more easily bounce back from difficulty without lasting negative impacts. Through mindfulness and compassion practice and teachings, we will cultivate and enhance aspects of resilience. We will explore working with difficult emotions, optimism, accepting change and uncertainty, and building a sense of humor. Our mind can be a healer or a slayer by how we choose to relate to our life’s experiences.
We can move beyond surviving life’s challenges to actively participating in our own deep healing while building resilience for a brighter present and future.

Paul Epstein
Dr. Paul Epstein, a naturopathic physician and mind-body therapist, teaches that true healing involves integrating physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. He emphasizes that illness and pain are opportunities for self-awareness and transformation: the healing journey is inseparable from the spiritual path. His core philosophy is that by mindfully entering and exploring our pain—rather than resisting it—we uncover its meaning, release emotional trauma, and awaken the body’s innate capacity to heal. In this way, suffering becomes the doorway to freedom, and the heart of the pain contains the seed of healing itself.
