Brahma Viharas, the Divine Abodes
First Thursday of every month
with the exception of meeting on the second Thursday this month, Nov 11
Brahma Vihara meditation is designed to cultivate beneficial mind states of goodwill, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. Consistent practice of Brahma Vihara meditation can open the heart and bring peace and happiness. It can be practiced independently, or as a support to other forms of meditation, such as mindfulness and concentration.
Jeff Haozous will lead a 30 min guided meditation, followed by a Dharma Talk and discussion. This drop-in class is open to those new to practice as well as those with an established meditation practice.
