In this 4 week series, we’ll explore the meditation practices (the 4 sublime abidings) of opening the heart as is taught in the Buddhist Tradition: metta (loving kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (empathetic joy), and upekkha (equanimity).

Through each meditation practice, your heart has an opportunity to open to its true essence and the greatest gift you have to give and receive – love. What softens and can be left behind is resentment, anger, jealousy, pity, and fear – experiencing a true sense of freedom!

This class will also focus on connecting within and connecting with others for more peace, joy, and happiness within.

This co-ed group is open to all – wherever you are on your path. All experience levels are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Meditation, dharma talks, and group discussion will be a part of each class.
