Workshop: The Gift of Our Compulsions (Washington, DC in March 2008)

To some degree we are all compulsive, with our compulsions ranging from over-working and over-worrying to over-eating and drugs. Trying to control compulsions results in a continuous cycle of struggle.  If we do eliminate one, another one usually takes its place. There is another way to work with compulsions, a way that transforms our compulsions from problems into wise guides that show us the way into the healing that we truly long for. Using exercises and a powerful process of working with questions, Mary O’Malley offers a perspective that will transform your way of being with all of the challenges of your life so you can know again the joy that is your birthright.

In the Friday night talk, Mary introduces her revolutionary way of working with compulsion, an approach that takes us out of the endless game of struggle and into the healing that we long for. Saturday’s workshop provides a more in-depth exploration of ways to work with compulsions that not only heal your need to be compulsive in the first place, but also uncover the wellspring of deep wisdom underlying your compulsions. If you're ready to develop a whole new relationship with your challenges, one where you can uncover and receive the gifts they hold, this workshop will change your life.

Mary says:  "Compassion is the ability to bring mercy into all those parts of ourselves we haven't yet accepted.  We do great violence to ourselves by constantly trying to get rid of our pain. Compassion is the willingness to let go and be present for the ebb and flow of pain in our lives. From that comes the joy of being able to accompany ourselves—no matter what is appearing—down the path of our lives."
