PRACTICES OF THE HEART
A program to cultivate the way we pay attention and develop a deeper, more stable sense of well-being—with kindness and without judgment.
UPCOMING CLASSES:

Mindfulness is not only about learning to pay attention. It is also about cultivating the quality with which we pay attention. This program is dedicated to developing the qualities of the heart: loving-kindness, compassion, gratitude, joy, and equanimity.
Over the course of three weeks, we will explore contemplative practices, principles from contemporary psychology, and findings from neuroscience that strengthen emotional resilience and help us develop a kinder relationship with ourselves and with others.
Through guided meditations, simple exercises, and practical tools, you will cultivate inner resources that remain available even when external circumstances change, allowing you to respond to your experience with greater openness, balance, and wisdom.
More than trying to change life's circumstances, this program invites you to transform the way you relate to them.
Course Outline:
Cultivating Love | Loving-kindness · Compassion · Joy · Equanimity
We will explore the Brahmavihāras, the four fundamental qualities of the heart described in the contemplative tradition. You will discover that loving-kindness, compassion, simpathetic joy, and equanimity are not unattainable ideals, but innate human capacities that can be cultivated and strengthened through practice.
Cultivating Self-Compassion | Self-Compassion · Gratitude · Generosity
You will learn how self-criticism, judgment, and resistance often limit our well-being, and how the practices of self-compassion, gratitude, and generosity can help you develop a kinder relationship with yourself—and from there, with others.
Cultivating Happiness | Safety · Satisfaction · Connection
We will explore how the brain's negativity bias shapes our experience, and how we can gradually counterbalance it by intentionally redirecting our attention toward what is beneficial and nourishing.
You will learn to cultivate inner resources of safety, satisfaction, and connection that support an increasing sense of enoughness, balance, and well-being.
