Meditations to Awaken a Loving Heart

About this event

What if you could feel more connected to others, improve your relationships, and meet life’s challenges with greater peace and compassion?

In this five-week series, we’ll explore practical meditations for developing a more loving and compassionate heart. Compassion isn’t just about caring for others — it can transform the way we experience our relationships, helping us let go of frustration and resentment, respond to difficult situations with greater patience, and experience a deeper sense of connection and happiness.

Drawing from The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, we’ll explore step by step how to cultivate compassion and love, leading to bodhichitta — the profound wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all living beings.

No previous meditation experience is necessary. Each class includes guided meditations and practical teachings that you can bring into everyday life.
