Mindfulness and love are essential and beautiful qualities of an awakened life. Mindfulness leads to clarity, insight, and understanding. Compassion is an attitude of heart that cares deeply about life’s challenges. Combined, they allow a kind embrace of the pain and struggles that arise in ourselves, each other, and the world. In this heartfelt day of meditation, we will discover how these qualities are essential in responding to the inevitable stresses and suffering that are part of being human. We will explore how they are necessary in any journey of awakening and in learning to live wisely and kindly in the midst of difficulty.

Participants will cultivate awareness through mindfulness meditations, and develop a compassionate orientation through heart-opening practices. Teachings will focus on the integration of love and awareness as a response to suffering and pain. We will also inquire into what obstructs the natural expression of the heart.
