The Power of Loving Kindness

Thursdays | 6:30 – 8 pm

Cost: $10 (Free for Members)

Everyone without exception wants to be happy all the time and free from difficulties and suffering all the time. Yet the more we focus on ourself alone, cherishing ourself while neglecting others, the more we seem to experience dissatisfaction and worries. Clearly, this method isn’t working. To experience the results of cherishing others, we don’t need to change our job, our family or our normal everyday experiences. All we need to do is change the object of cherishing from “self” to “others”.
In this series, we will learn through the practice of meditation how to protect ourselves and others from our own negativity through developing compassion and wisdom.
Attend the entire series or drop in to any of the classes in the series.

Everyone is welcome. Please try and arrive 10 minutes before class starts to give yourself time to sign in and settle.
