Lovingkindness is a meditation that
cultivates our natural capacity for an open and loving heart.
It is traditionally offered with meditations that enrich compassion,
and joy in the happiness of others, and also deepen our own sense
of peace. These practices lead to the development of concentration,
connection, fearlessness, and genuine happiness. Sharon Salzberg
will introduce these teachings and support us in our own experience
and cultivation of these qualities through direct instruction
and guided meditation using classical techniques in a modern idiom.
There will also be opportunities for questions. This workshop
is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.
