For millennia, we have been taught to distrust the body, fear our emotions, and glorify the mind. As AI becomes more present in our lives, emotional intelligence is increasingly being recognized by experts as essential, not as a concept, but as a lived capacity. But true emotional intelligence doesn’t come from the mind or better communication skills; its source is in returning to the animal body and becoming skillful at stress cycle completion. In this workshop, emotional intelligence is approached through the body. The focus is on stress cycle completion, learning how to move emotional charge through the system, rather than holding or managing it mentally. You’ll explore practical ways to build emotional resilience, alongside perspectives from tantric philosophy that support a more grounded, embodied way of being. The aim is simple: to stay connected to your body, your emotions, and your humanity in a rapidly changing world.
