A space to foster speech that promotes connection in divisive times

The Dharma offers us ways to have full awareness of skillful and connecting speech. Each week we’ll gather to engage in practices guided by the qualities laid out in the teachings on kindness (metta) and compassion (karuna) from the Brahma Viharas and Skillful Speech from the Eightfold Path. Rev. Liên emphasizes that unconditional kindness does not mean giving up our sense of self, and in fact kindness begins with a practice of kindness towards self that many find challenging! Sessions will include meditation on that week’s teaching topic and then rounds of Deep Listening, a practice which offers us the opportunity to experience giving and receiving complete attention while listening and talking/sharing.
