A four week Meditation Series: Cultivating the Heart Qualities:This meditation class is centered around cultivating the Heart Qualities, also known as the brahma viharas: Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. These practices are designed to foster a calm and joyous mind, promoting inner peace and emotional well-being.Each week, our class will delve into one of these "heart qualities." Our session format will consist of a brief opening meditation, a comprehensive talk exploring the chosen quality, a guided meditation applying the related practices, and finally, an opportunity for reflection and questions before we conclude. Handouts will be provided to support participants in their journey.
The journey towards inner peace is enriched through shared experiences and supportive communities. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey as we explore the profound teachings of the brahma viharas together.
This class is appropriate for beginners as well as those who have an established meditation practice. It will be a one-hour session and run for four weeks.
