We all want love. And, having and holding love and loving feelings may be challenging at times, perhaps especially when we’re in the midst of a relationship.

Join us in exploring how love can be when expressed in conjunction with the qualities of the Four Divine States:
* Loving kindness
* Compassion
* Inclusive Joy
* Balance of Heart/Mind

Let’s explore how these qualities can offer us ways which can promote more mindfulness and ease. Traditional meditation practices on these qualities along with other contemporary means will be shared and practiced, giving us tools and practices to learn how to access and cultivate these qualities within ourselves and with another.

Both individual and relational exercises will be used. Open to all expressions of partnered relationships, including but not limited to friendships, parents/children, siblings, intimate sensual/sexual significant others, roommates, etc.

Cost: $80; or $64 for students with limited income (lunch, tea and an afternoon snack will be provided).
