Heart-Centered Relationships

How Meditation Can Strengthen Your Connections

Sometimes our relationships can be unsatisfying and frustrating. It’s not uncommon to feel like we’ve hit a dead-end in our relationships, even with someone we deeply care about. In this half-day course, we will explore the Buddhist approach for building heart-centered relationships and restoring connection.

Buddha taught that true connection with others must start from within. By taking refuge in our own naturally good heart, we connect with our authentic best self. As a result, we feel more confident and secure, and are better able to connect with others. Through meditation and Buddha’s teachings, we’ll learn how to cultivate this skill and apply it practically to our lives.
