4-week course exploring the history, science, and practice of loving kindness

Loving-kindness is not simply a feeling we wait to arise.

Ancient wisdom traditions have long taught us, and modern science increasingly confirms, that loving-kindness is a capacity we can intentionally cultivate and strengthen through practice.

​It's not about being saccharine, ignoring life's difficulties, or becoming a doormat.

​Rather, loving-kindness meditation offers a profound training of the mind, heart, and body—helping us become increasingly familiar with what it feels like to abide in love, so that kindness and compassion become the foundation from which we think, speak, act, and move through the world.

​Join Cheri for a transformational four-week journey exploring the ancient wisdom, modern science, and transformative practice of metta, or loving-kindness meditation.

Each 75-minute class will include guided meditation, education, personal reflection, and group dialogue.

When: Mondays, 6:30–7:45 pm ET

Where: Live via Zoom

​Following each class, participants will receive an email with:
the class recording,
presentation slides,
and suggested practices to support continued exploration throughout the week.
