Course Description:
“Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.”
— Henry James
Kindness-based meditations address habitual patterns of mind that lead into negative emotions — anger, shame, anxiety.
In this course, we will look at what kindness actually is, how we put kindness into practice in our daily lives, and a range of meditation techniques for cultivating kindness.
Throughout the course, you will develop a greater capacity to respond to difficult experiences with kindly awareness — leading to resilience, confidence, and calm.
