Namaste Everyone,

I am offering an ONLINE, donation-based class on Heart Practices for Women ~ Teachings and Meditations on the Four Immeasurables.

4 Sundays @ 11am PST, 90-minute sessions [Sept 1, 8, 15, and 22]

***This is a LIVE online class. Limited to 25 participants. Registration is required for participation.***

This class is for women of all paths or no path. You do not have to be a Buddhist to practice with us. All levels of experience with Buddhism, mindfulness, and/or meditation welcome.

You will learn to intentionally cultivate wholesome heart qualities of loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity through the teachings and practices of the Four Immeasurables or the Brahmavihārās. These heart practices are considered immeasurable because if you practice them, they will grow every day until they embrace all beings in the entire universe. You will also learn how to bring compassionate awareness to difficult thoughts, emotions, and habits that may arise when attempting to cultivate these heart qualities.

The class includes talks, meditations, Q&R (questions and responses), optional sharing, and dedication of merit.

Pre-registered on Eventbrite is required. Looking forward to meeting you!

Heart Practices for Women ~ Teachings & Meditations on Four Immeasurables Learn ways to cuItivate loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity through Buddhist Heart Practices called the Four Immeasurables.

We created When the World is Anxious to support you in your work with clients as we negotiate the influence of collective distress. Now offered at a Sliding Scale, our aim for this course is to:

1. help you relate more effectively with your own anxiety as you support your clients through the uncharted mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual territories of this pandemic, within the context of the current socio-political environment.

2. explore how to compassionately and skillfully navigate the therapeutic relationship against the backdrop of collective anxiety that is undeniably correlated with increasingly more intense world events.

Step 2. notice when you become distracted
Step 3. gently let go of the distraction
Step 4. begin again
