In this class series, we will be practicing with each of the qualities of an awakened heart known as the Brahma Viharas: lovingkindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity. We will practice a meditation for each of these qualities each week and then spend time in relational mindfulness dyads and mindful inquiry to support us in cultivating and embodying the Brahma Viharas in our daily life and learning how to live the heart practices to deepen our well being and in support of all those whose lives we touch.

This intermediate class is appropriate for those students with previous meditation experience who have taken an introductory mindfulness class or other Buddhist classes or Living Dharma series. In the Living Dharma class series, we study the traditional Buddhist teachings from the Insight meditation tradition and learn how to apply them to daily life for greater ease, clarity, and well being. There will be time for longer meditations, instruction, Dharma talks, small group work, reflections and discussion to deepen learning together in community.

Participants will be strongly encouraged to meditate for at least 30 minutes daily to support the deepening of their understanding.

Please note, this is a class series, not a drop-in group. Please sign up with the intention of attending as many sessions as possible to get the most out of class and to leave space open for other students who would like to commit to the full session.

We will meet for 4 Tuesdays from 6:30 - 8:15pm:
