Cultivating Emotional Balance: last Sunday of the month 12-3pm @ 67 Hubert St Vic Park
Become an emotional athlete – take control of your wellbeing by learning to be present and constructively engaged with your emotions
Our emotions create richness in our life – they help us navigate our lives, discern what we need, and relate to others. Yet, overwhelming emotions can leave us feeling triggered, stressed, drained, disempowered from our own mental processes, and can result in fractured relationships with others. The information and training from this course will transform your emotional inner world, so you become a skilled ‘emotional athlete’ that is calm, present and positively engaged with others.
What is CEB?
Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) is an evidence based training aimed at helping participants develop emotional regulation by:
- Understanding how emotions function and develop
- Influencing the progression of an emotion, in order to shape the form it takes
- Learning and training in mindfulness and attentional skills
- Identifying purpose, and meaningful goals in our life
- Reducing destructive emotions and cultivating constructive emotions
- Developing and practicing compassionate and balanced connection with others
CEB draws on the wisdom of contemplative meditation practices and emotional research to develop emotion skills to help people to better understand their emotional life, and thereby increase constructive and decrease destructive emotional engagements.

About CEB:
The Cultivating Emotional Balance Training emerged from the Destructive Emotions dialogue between behavioural scientists and the Dalai Lama, Buddhist monks, and scholars at the Mind and Life Institute in Dharamsala, India, in March of 2000. At the culmination of this meeting the Dalai Lama requested that the important ideas raised in these sessions, specifically how to manage the everyday obstacles of our destructive emotions, be turned into an accessible secular training.
