"The Path to Resilience helped me break through my old pattern of ruminating on either just the good or just the bad - which tended to result in extreme highs and extreme lows. I'm more equipped to hold all of my emotions at once, recognize that they all belong together, and appreciate that side-by-side feelings are a natural (and beautiful) part of human life."    
-Devin Scott

What is the Path to Resilience?

The path to resilience is not about "trying harder" in the conventional sense of the word. Resilience involves moving with the flow of life rather than against it - navigating the currents so that we can steady ourselves, achieve our goals, and help others. On this path we give ourselves permission to be human—to be imperfect and have difficult emotions, and we also empower ourselves with skills to become the best version of ourselves.

An integral part of this path is the practice of A.N.D. (Allow, Nurture, and Discover™).
  • "A" is for Allow.  On the path to resilience we become aware of our thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Avoiding challenging emotions leads to stress and struggle. Noticing and allowing creates the space for a skillful response.
  • “N” stands for Nurturing a healthy mind. Healthy mind skills include both cultivating compassion for our difficulties, and also growing mindfulness, gratitude, and inner strengths.
  • “D” is for Discover. Whereas resistance and fear narrow our perceptual focus, practicing curiosity paves the way for discovering new opportunities for greater freedom and happiness.

The path to resilience teaches simple, engaging and practical applications of research-based mindfulness, self-compassion, emotional intelligence and positive neuroplasticity. Through the integration of science, metaphor, story, and experiential practice, participants learn to relate skillfully to difficult experiences and also intentionally create positive strategies for long-term resilience and well-being.
