The Healing Power of Love: Why We Need Love

It's a Sunday-ish late morning. Someone in your life is being a lot. Maybe it's a coworker, a family member, or that roommate and their sink full of dishes. Normally your patience runs out at about this point. This series is about what happens if it doesn't.

From November through December, these 90-minute guided meditation classes look at a simple idea that's surprisingly hard to put into practice: how we love other people may be the biggest key to our own happiness. Love here is the everyday practical kind, not the greeting-card version. It's a real source of emotional well-being, and you can train it like any other skill.

What we'll practice together

• Finding happiness through love, not in spite of other people

• Cherishing and appreciating the people around you

• Healing strained relationships with patience

• Expanding love beyond your favorite people to everyone

• Living day to day with more love and compassion

You'll leave each class with practical tools to cultivate a pure, loving mind and build relationships that actually mean something.

Four mornings, one theme

Your teacher for the series is Stephen Charles. When class wraps up, stick around for refreshments. It's a nice way to let the calm settle in before you go back out to Tingzhou Road. :)
