Desire and Love
Who do we love? What do we love? Love and desire are two distinctly different movements—it requires mindfulness and vigilance to know the difference. Using mindfulness practice we can enable the movement of love to take place without the problematic features of desire.

Phillip Moffitt

Tonight Phillip Moffitt will draw from his new book,  Emotional Chaos to Clarity, to explore how we can achieve the openness and clarity of a genuinely responsive mind. He’ll share teachings and practices that can help us develop essential life skills (such as setting our priorities and identifying our core values), that can profoundly improve our ability to respond to any difficult life situation and renew our enthusiasm for life, as we rediscover the joy and peace that are always already here.

Hope Martin

This class will feature a video series with the renowned and beloved Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön presenting powerful teachings on how to transform our fears so that they no longer hold us back in our lives but instead bring us to a deeper, more open place within ourselves. Normally we harden and react in response to fear, causing harm to ourselves and others. We will discover how through meditation practice, which teaches us to relax with our experience as it is, we can learn to face our fears with gentleness and curiosity. In this way the experience of fear can become a pathway to tenderness and greater humanity, leading to loving kindness for ourselves and our world. The class will focus on how we can relate personally to these teachings and apply them to our lives, and will include guided meditation practice and discussion. There will be assigned readings each week.
