Love: Supported by the Four Divine States

November 4, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 6:30 pm on Monday, repeating until November 25, 2019

Open to All expressions of love: friends, partners, siblings, parent/child, roommates, etc.

with Rev. Liên Shutt 

Co-Sponsored by Access To Zen

 

We all want love. 

And, having and holding love and loving feelings can be challenging. Join us in exploring how love can be when expressed in conjunction with the qualities of the Four Divine States of Equanimity, Kindness, Compassion, and Inclusive Joy.

While grounded in these teachings and meditation practices, the course will also be framed by readings from bell hook’s All About Love: New Visions; offering a blend of fierce feminist social criticism to ask us to transform our challenges into strength, manifesting the love and caring we want in our lives here and now.

 

Space is limited and registration is requested.
