How to Keep Your Heart Open, Even When People Hurt You
Series dates
22, 29 Oct · 5, 12 Nov
This weekly class looks at what happens when someone hurts us, or a difficult year slowly closes our heart. Each session gives you practical methods for working with anger and resentment, and for keeping some warmth towards people who make it hard. An open heart turns out to be a kind of strength, and it can be trained
About the classes
Suitable for complete beginners and experienced meditators – everybody welcome!
While each class stands alone, taken together they also offer a bridge into a deeper journey. They explore how freedom from stress can be the first step on a path to lasting happiness and inner transformation, known in the Buddhist tradition as the path to enlightenment.
Each class includes guided meditations, a talk, and time for questions. No previous experience is needed.
