Loveable: Kindness & Compassion Practice
Online Workshop
Did you know that humans are hard wired for compassionate action? Extending unconditional love is in our DNA.
This workshop explores the practice of loving-kindness meditation, or metta, the act of wishing well for ourselves and others without exception. We will also consider compassion (karuna) , and the ways it differs from metta. The power of loving-kindness practice cannot be overestimated, and the need to cultivate real love has never been more immediate or urgent.

Four Ways to Love: Meditations to Open the Heart
What if learning to love yourself and others was simple, enjoyable, and possible?
Four Ways to Love is a short online course in the brahmaviharas, the four prized emotions or mindstates that give us a framework to cultivate positive behaviors and minimize harmful ones. Through meditation and discussion, we will explore one type of love each week: kindness, compassion, joy, and balance.

The practice of loving-kindness strengthens our innate capacity to be less judgmental and more resilient.
