A 10-week, in person course beginning March 7, 2024, and ending May 7, 2024. Available to therapists and the general public, offered in partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Santa Cruz, California.

This is a FREE PILOT course focusing on understanding how the nine inborn emotions work to shape our experiences of life. In an atmosphere of support we will study expression and application of all emotions to improve relationships. After a general introduction, we will focus on interest-excitement, shame, joy, and distress-sorrow.  Since this is a pilot and free to all, the attendees are invited to give feedback throughout the course and thus make a substantial contribution to its ultimate design and impact.

Classes meet twice a month on the first and third Thursdays at 7:00-9:00 p.m. with optional practica on the second Tuesday and the fourth Thursday at 7:00-9:00 p.m. The meetings will be at the Fellowship, 6401 Freedom Blvd, Aptos, California.

Part 2 classes will follow, beginning May 16, and focusing on anger, surprise, fear, disgust and contempt. It will include corresponding practica.
