5 Tuesdays
7 - 8:30 pm

The Buddha taught the practices of the Brahmaviharas – good will, compassion, joy, and equanimity – as ways of training the heart to respond appropriately in difficult times. In this class, we will explore how to cultivate these qualities in our own hearts, finding joy and peace in our everyday lives.
