Sundays 10:30AM-12PM

Guided Meditations & Teachings

$15 / free for members

When we disagree with loved ones, whether it’s about politics, parenting, money or work, good listening helps us to understand one another. In this class series we will learn methods for maintaining harmonious relationships even though we may disagree passionately with others. We’ll learn how to disagree without tearing each other down by purposefully developing a mind of respect, restraint, love and compassion.

We may be surprised how our relationships can transform when we genuinely accept others, put ourselves in their shoes, find common ground, and learn to release the tight grasp we have on our own views and opinions. Buddha’s teachings on equalizing and exchanging self with others are especially applicable if we are truly interested in keeping good relationships.
