Joy of Living Meditation Workshop
Level II: Opening the Heart

A weekend workshop with Tergar Facilitator Kell Julliard

In this weekend retreat, we will learn how to meditate on loving-kindness and compassion, a profound practice that helps us open our hearts to others and relax the self-centered tendencies that lead to anxiety, dissatisfaction, and suffering.

Cultivating loving-kindness and compassion helps us to see the basic goodness that all beings share. By relating to others in an open hearted way, we bring peace to the mind and develop a sense of confidence and purpose. This, in turn, naturally brings harmony to our relationships and enables us to work with challenging situations more effectively.

The schedule for this weekend workshop includes DVD teachings by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche as well as guided meditations and discussion led by Tergar Facilitator Kell Julliard.
