The Antidotes for Our Collective and Individual Burnout - InsightLA Meditation

Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible).

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

This session will unpack the scientific understanding of burnout and reveal how we can learn to use the feelings and experience of stress and emotional overwhelm as a path to meaning based coping.

We will apply contemplative science tools for investigating the roots of burnout through its antidotes:

Emotional Resilience,
Meaning Making, and
Gratitude.

The phenomenon of burnout arises from challenging conditions in our daily work, especially for care professionals, and can be generated/enhanced through our secondary experiences of collective stress, trauma, and emotion (there is plenty to go around these days). Burnout is defined and measured through three domains which are connected to how we are able to hold the content of our difficult emotional states and empathy. In this short session, we will map the key emotions underlying burnout as a basis for narrative of meaning making. We will practice shamata (attention/grounding) and explore the heart practices of equanimity amid our compassion.
