Strengthening Compassion for Yourself, Your Community and Your World Through Metta
Facilitated by Matt Gesicki
If your compassion does not include yourself, then it is incomplete. – Jack Kornfield
Conventional wisdom often tells us that being hard on ourselves is the key to success. But modern research and ancient spiritual teachings actually show us that quite the opposite is true. It is through self-compassion that we can reshape our inner dialogue, and find healing, peace and energy and inspiration to move forward.
Drawing on Tara Brach’s Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life with the Heart of a Buddha, we will discuss together concepts and experiences of self-compassion and self-criticism. Then we will be gently guided in metta meditation, extending abundant compassion to ourselves, to our greater community, and to all of life.
Fee: $25
Presented in partnership with River’s Edge and The Well
