In a world that quietly trains us toward urgency, distraction, and emotional reactivity, how do we return to steadiness in the ordinary moments of our days?

Join Dr. Elisha Goldstein in conversation with InsightLA founder Trudy Goodman and Spirit Rock founder Jack Kornfield for a morning that blends dialogue, reflection, and experiential practice.

Drawing from his book Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity, Elisha will explore how small, moment-to-moment emotional pivots can interrupt our underlying daily emotional loops and restore clarity, connection, and vitality.

Together we will explore:

The “Emotional Loop” and how it quietly shapes behavior
Why awareness itself regulates the nervous system
How to use the simple 4R method (Recognize, Release, Refocus, Reinforce) in daily life
The connection between emotional health and long-term well-being

This morning is not about adding more to your life. It is about relating differently to what is already here.
