Four Qualities of the Heart: Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity

Led by John Orr

Class Dates: July 10,17, 24, 31

Time: 6-8pm EST


During this series of classes together, we will open to these beautiful qualities of the heart, which are inherent to our being. We will also explore what seems to block us from dwelling in these sublime states of heart-mind. It is often our fears, negativity and grasping mind that blocks access. Using mindfulness practice and guided meditations focused on loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity, we will make contact with this loving heart, nurture it and manifest it in the many contexts of our daily lives.
