This on-demand professional training program on Cultivating Emotional Balance is presented by Paul Ekman, PhD, Eve Ekman, MSW, PhD, and Ryan Redman, MA.

Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) is an educational training committed to utilizing the experience of emotion as a path for supporting a constructive emotional life and cultivating genuine happiness.

By integrating the wisdom traditions of modern psychology, current emotion research, and contemplative practices, CEB provides a secular platform for transformation. This program implements guided meditation instruction, emotion mapping, group activities, partner reflections, and an in-depth investigation of universal emotions.

In this program, participants develop attention, restore motivation, identify the root causes of enduring happiness, discuss burnout, explore contempt and shame, investigate different pathways of empathy, practice self-compassion, and build connections through vulnerability and trust. Ultimately, with the tools of CEB, we can draw upon our human capacity to wisely and compassionately actualize individual and collective well-being and establish a wholesome relationship with the planet.
