During this 4-week course, we will explore the transformative practices of the Four Immeasurables, which can help us cultivate empathy and love, and embrace a more joyful and fulfilling life through our connection with others. Through guided meditations and practical teachings, we will learn how to nurture these qualities in our daily lives, leading to improved relationships, mental well-being, and spiritual growth.
These four practices have a wide range of benefits, such as helping us to overcome loneliness, heal divisions, and foster meaningful connections with others. These practices are accessible to anyone seeking inner transformation and greater happiness in life—whether Buddhist or not. Come along and give it a try!
