Meeting Life with Compassion and Courage

Opening to the multiple challenges of our times and the demands of our personal life can feel overwhelming. It requires us to keep stretching our heart, staying responsive to inhabit different perspectives and, at times, to challenge and take a stance. Can we see this as a precious invitation to cultivate and bring forth the very best in us, to step into the beautiful potential of being truly human?

During our time together we explore what nourishes and sustains us on this journey, allowing us to more fully express our love and care for this life and this world. There are meditation instructions and guided practices drawing upon meditative tools from Insight Meditation traditions, practices inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, reflections and guided interactive practices.
