Love & Connection
with Kelsang Jangchen
June
Description
Feeling connected and nurtured are essential for our peace of mind and well-being.
Our lives are interconnected and interdependent in many ways, however, we may still feel alone from time to time. And while we may have people we connect with on social media and in real life, these relationships might not be consistently positive, inspiring or spiritually meaningful.
In these classes, Jangchen will teach simple and practical methods to increase our feelings of love and connection, while nurturing ourself and benefiting others.
You're welcome to attend any class or the entire series. Everyone is welcome.

Developing Self-Confidence in our Spiritual Life
with Mark Gould
July
Description
Our constant pursuit of happiness in all the things around us creates a lot of fear, anxiety, and even low self esteem. Seeking affirmation from others, financial success, and perfect relationships often leaves us exhausted and lacking confidence.
Through consistent meditation practice, Buddha leads us on an amazing journey of inner exploration. We find an inexhaustible source of peace and happiness within our own mind, which allows us to naturally abandon fear and cultivate an authentic confidence in daily life.
You're welcome to attend any class or the entire series. Everyone is welcome.
