Class Description:
One of the reasons we practice is to transform ourselves into wiser and kinder people. Or at least to be a little less grouchy! In this course, we will look at ways to encourage this kind of transformation through meditative practice.
We will draw on our own intuitive experiences of “heightened significance” and of a deeper sense of meaning, as well as aspects of beauty, imagination, and spontaneous outpourings of selfless love. Even if these are few and far between, they are integral parts of the human experience which can be nurtured and cultivated.
Join us for this four-week course as we explore how we all have the potential for transformation!
