Through interactive practices and challenging inquiry, this program will focus on the convergence of mindfulness and love in order to broaden and enliven your spiritual path.

Many people are becoming familiar with mindfulness these days, and we have all experienced love in some form. What is less clear is that mindfulness and love are inextricably related and, when followed as a spiritual path, they lead far beyond stress reduction into our heart’s deepest yearnings: awakening and peace. This is a path of the heart, but it requires courage—courage to see past familiar, limited, and often painful ideas about yourself and others, and courage to forgive in order to dwell in the open, yet intimate reality that is your true nature.

In order to deepen your experience, silence will be encouraged during non-program hours, though it is not required.

The program is geared to people who have already been introduced to mindfulness and who have seeking minds and open hearts.
