The Heart Practices of metta (loving-kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (joy), and upekkha (equanimity) are fundamental to the Buddhist path. They are also part of how we share what it means to be human, in connection with ourselves and others. In this daylong we will link these traditional practices with wisdom that relates to daily life. Open to all, including those who are new to meditation. There will be periods of meditation, group discussion, and interactive practices, led by Lulu Cook and Lyndi Smith.

We face an endless onslaught of decisions every day, and making better choices is easier when we bring our dharma practice to the process.  We’ve all had the experience of making what seemed like “the wrong decision”, so we’ll explore how the Buddha’s teachings can illuminate those experiences with forgiveness and growth. Even better, we’ll reflect on how the dharma can guide us toward choices that expand our capacity to live in the world with greater clarity and wisdom ~ perhaps without making so many mistakes in the first place!
