Learning to Let Go:
Overcoming Perfectionism and Learning to Lighten Up
Tuesdays · 7-8:30pm with Kadam Kyle Davis
Relax and let go. We all want to change, but this sometimes leads to unhelpful self criticism or feelings of adequacies. Through Buddhist psychology we can gain insight into how we think and learn practical methods that will help us accept who and where we are, and make progress towards becoming the person we wish to be. Drop-ins welcome.

Summer Series
The Buddhist Way of Loving Kindness
Tuesdays · 7-8:30pm with Kadam Kyle Davis
Meditating on loving kindness is blissful. When we feel authentic love and empathy in our hearts, we feel at peace, relaxed, strong, and courageous. All too often our relationships with others and with the world bring us down, even to feelings of despair. Learning the various key meditations in Buddhist teachings on love gives us the tools to transform our way of relating to others so, instead of being a source of worry and frustration, they are positive and peaceful.
Throughout the summer, we will study the classic text Eight Steps to Happiness which outlines a step-by-step approach to growing our loving minds, ranging from basic minds of affection and closeness to profound forms of love like universal compassion.
Everyone welcome!
