Feeling joyful and connected to others is essential for our sense of wellbeing, inner peace, and happiness. However, even in a place like St John's, surrounded by people, a sense of connection can be elusive, leaving us feeling isolated even in an age of ‘connectivity’.
Connection is something we experience in the mind, and therefore it is a feeling that needs to be cultivated by the mind. In this meditation series, we will explore simple but powerful meditations that gently open the heart and create a genuine feeling of connection with others. We discover a natural warmth and openness from within, allowing us to enjoy life more fully and find greater meaning and purpose.
Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly topic, followed by time for Q&A.
Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience is required.

As conscientious Dharma practitioners, we should observe our own shortcomings instead of being preoccupied with those of other people.
