Loneliness, Imperfection & Resilience: A Buddhist-based approach

October 10, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, repeating until October 24, 2018

with Mushim Ikeda 

Loneliness is painful, and seems to be on the rise despite the easy connectivity promised by internet and social media. Feeling isolated because we are regarded as “different” by others can be a factor. How can we stay present to the sharp edges of our feelings about the imperfection of our lives, and mindfully build resilience, self-forgiveness, authentic connectivity and joy? This Buddhist-based approach will include reflective journaling, experiential exercises, mindfulness meditation (beginners are welcome), Dharma talks, and discussion. Bring your kindest and most whole self.
