To be in this world with love and kindness is enormously courageous. Our inherent nature is naturally loving and kind. Over these eight Sunday morning online classes, explore different forms of metta practice and discover ways to release the conditions that obscure our true nature.

About the event
Sundays 9:00 - 10:30 am
This seven week online course is based on the Buddhist Metta Sutta and a Zen interpretation of it. Each week explores different loving kindness meditations and contemplations that support them.
It is a heartfelt joy to share these practices at this dark time of year and amidst the world's seemingly endless turmoil. Together we will discover how, as much as we are dependent on others and on our environment, they are dependent on us. Our tenderized hearts learn that words and actions and the motivation behind those words and actions have resonance and that even the smallest thing has import and requires care. Sharing in this group setting and small group interactions, we'll explore how devotion to ripening our hearts, while it may seem inadequate in the enormity of the world’s many challenges, can also be the one thing that makes a difference.
