Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) is a contemplative training program that combines the insights of psychological research with the traditional practices of mind-training. The aim of the program is to learn to use our emotions—both pleasant and unpleasant—to cultivate greater levels of clarity and psychological wellbeing.

Originally developed by Dr. Paul Ekman, Dr. Alan Wallace and Dr. Eve Ekman at the request of the Dalai Lama (voiced at the Mind&Life Conference in the year 2000), CEB has grown to become an internationally acclaimed tool for teaching key emotional and contemplative skills for those in service professions and just about anyone who wants to understand and manage their emotional landscape better.

This in-depth course will consist of twelve 4-hour long sessions (each with a 30 minute break). Every session includes some theoretical explanations, interactive group activities, self-reflection exercises and periods of meditation practice.

Learning to understand the modulations and logic of our fundamental emotional states, we will use a number of psychological and contemplative skills to establish greater levels of inner stability.

The full 42-hour CEB program takes its participants through a deep exploration of their habits pertaining to all the major emotional groups: anger, fear, disgust, joy, sadness, surprise and shame.

In addition, it includes a comprehensive overview of the three main forms of meditation practice: developing attentional stability, cultivating virtues of the heart and looking deeply into the nature of our experiences.

Studies have shown that taking a full-length CEB strengthens one's meta-awareness, compassion, empathy, resilience & even the ability to accurately recognize emotions in others.

Requirements for the students: Please commit to attending the entire course. Anyone is welcome to join.

Participants who complete the entire 42-hour course and pass the test are eligible to receive a certificate of completion.
