A Personal Invitation from Caren
Dear One,
Welcome to this very personal, intimate, practical course that I initially created for my daughter.
In 2021 she was experiencing anxiety after the birth of her second child and she asked if I could teach a class on anxiety for her. I said yes, but found myself stalling because I hadn't taught a class like that and, even though I'd been meditating for over twenty five years and teaching for almost almost fifteen, I wasn't sure I really had the credentials to offer a 'class' on anxiety.
But her anxiety was progressing into panic attacks and crippling paralysis and I found myself spending more and more time on the phone, or at her house, using meditation wisdom and techniques to guide her through the waves of panic, tears, and anxiety, as they arose during her days and nights.
And it was helping. She was benefitting. She asked again for a class, and this time I said, "Yes. I'll create a class for you."
This course is that class. I poured my heart into sharing with my daughter, and twenty of my students, what I had learned and used in my own life. It included information and techniques from three different areas: medical/neuro science and therapeutic research, my years of mindfulness training, and my decades of meditation study and training.
In truth, I had no idea what would be of benefit to this diverse group of beings so I threw in everything I knew. Turns out, integrating the three distinct approaches had great value.
It worked. It made a difference. People's lives changed. Some dramatically, my daugher among them, and others more quietly.
By overwhelming request, I'm offering it again in hopes that it can help in these very uncertain and unstable times. Over the six weeks you will discover how to live without the anxiety that is sabotaging your happiness and quality of life.
Scroll down to learn more about what the course includes and see if it's a good fit for you. If some part of you is longing for a taste of what you see here, I'd love to have you join us.
Blessings,
Caren
"This series was amazing for giving me specific, experiential, applicable tools for learning how to more effectively interact with my anxiety. I love that Caren helped us go deeper than the very broad term 'anxiety' and get specific about what was coming up for us. I learned how to more intentionally help myself through the tough moments." - Kelsey

"This class changed my relationship with anxiety. I was able to see it from a viewpoint I had not considered. I have more compassion and less frustration with myself." ~ J.C.

Meet Caren
This course contains the wisdom gained from my own personal journey through decades of what today is called 'anxiety,' but in my day we called fear, shame, agoraphobia, stage fright, paralyzing dread, nervousness, unworthiness, terror, people-pleasing, manic-depression, approval-seeking, fear of failure, lack of confidence, etc...
In other words, periods of deep fear, uncertainty, paralyzing unhappiness, hopelessness, and despair.
As fate would have it, I stopped drinking and drugging in 1975—I was 22—and with my sobriety came the admonition to refrain from taking any 'mind or mood altering' drugs or painkillers—not even asprin. So unlike the world around me, I wasn't able to medicate to deal with the pain and discomfort of living my life. My only choice was to learn how to deal with the raw, intense emotions that would surface at the most inopportune times.
This course is the summation of what I learned from 12-step programs, one good therapist, exploring different religions and philosophies, self-help authors and teachers, but most importantly from my guru and other incredibly wise meditation teachers. They showed me how to use the wisdom of meditation and mindfulness to transform my mind, my heart, and my being. Meditation transformed me in ways nothing else had. It was practical, useful, and it worked.
This course was created with deep caring and love for my daughter and my students. My hope being that they, like me, could discover a life free from anxiety and fear which will allow their own primordial wings of wisdom to unfold so they are able to create a life filled with happiness, compassion, and joy.
If you'd like to unfold your wings too, I urge you to join us. This shit works!
"This class was the best! Not only did I learn where anxiety comes from and how it functions, but I developed the skills and tools to help myself when I feel anxiety coming on. I found it immensely useful to parent my neurodivergent teen who lives with a severe anxiety disorder. Suddenly there was less judgment, less frustration, more understanding and more support in the moment. I still use the techniques I learned. I can't recommend this class enough!" ~April

"I think there's a lot of talk about how to deal with anxiety, but there's nothing that tells me, okay, in this very moment, when something is coming up, what do I do?
This class gives you those tools, but it also gives you the opportunity to actually be with whatever's come up without panicking instead of always needing to take yourself out of those situations. And then you can start working on the underlying stuff as time goes by." - Ramon
Common Questions
I’ve never meditated before, can I join this class?
Yes! This isn't a "meditation" class so much as a class that includes meditation as one of the tools you can use to learn how to create a life free of anxiety. All will benefit from the breadth of the information and practices being shared whether you're a meditator or not.
Do you meditate the entire class?
Not to worry. It's not that kind of class. What makes this program unique is the amount of time we devote to discussion, practice, and answering questions so you'll come away truly understanding how to use what you're learning.
Is this going to take a lot of time?
Honestly? It really is an investment of time. This program is an intensive immersion where you can practice the skills you learn in real time. BUT, you'll discover that you're spending less time and money, than you would in traditional therapy. The results are immediate and build over time.
How important are the practicum sessions?
Very! The practice sessions on Thursdays are essential for understanding, integrating, and learning the techniques so you can use them in real time during your very real daily life. The material we cover on Thursday is different from what is covered in Sunday class.
My life is crazy, what if I have to miss a class?
We totally get it. We record every class and each week both the class and the practicum will be posted to your private course page so you can watch or listen at your convenience. What is most effective about the class, is the opportunity to study in person with Caren.
Do I have to keep my camera on?
Since the class is very interactive, we do encourage everyone to keep their cameras on. It helps us gauge if we are communicating clearly and also to make sure you are doing the techniques properly.
How formal is the program?
We are a friendly (and introvert friendly), easy going group. It's totally fine to dress comfortably—you'll be sitting for a while—and to bring your morning coffee or tea, or even a snack to class. We encourage you to just be yourself. This is a safe space.
Alright Loves, I Adore You and
I Think You’re Wonderful!
