    6:00pm – Introduction to The Quest for Meaning

    6:00 PM-9:00 PM
    2019.12.08


    Join this Introductory workshop exploring The Quest for Meaning

    A Workshop for Men and Women in Mid-Life Who Are Asking: “What’s Next for My Life?”

    If in your journey along life’s way, a gentle longing, a vague uneasiness beckons you to search for something more

    If you have achieved some success in life, but aren’t sure what comes next
    If you sometimes ask yourself: “What is the meaning of my life anyway?”
    If a recent failure or loss has led to questions about where your life is headed
    If you would like to explore the possibilities that lie beyond the normal, everyday activities that take up so much of life’s energy

    … Then join us in this Quest.

    Using stories, poetry, literature, and the world’s wisdom traditions, we will consider the various ways one can choose to invest one’s life energy, exploring the journey every man and every woman can make in pursuit of a feeling of wholeness, of meaning, of purpose.

  • 10:00am-12:00 noon – Lovingkindness Reflection

    10:00am-12:00 noon – Lovingkindness Reflection

    10:00 AM-12:00 PM
    2019.12.21

    Cultivate an Open Heart

    The practice of Metta or Lovingkindness reflection helps us to develop and sustain a felt sense and attitude of lovingkindness toward ourselves, others, and all beings everywhere.

    Metta is a part of the Buddha’s heart teachings about lovingkindness, or the Brahma Viharas – compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity, and “unbounded friendship” – often called as a group the “Heavenly Abodes.” This workshop will bring participants into experiences of lovingkindness and focus on how to bring about compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity, and “unbounded friendship” in one’s daily life. The workshop will consider sila (virtue), samadhi (concentration), and pañña (wisdom) as they relate to lovingkindness. Since the purpose is to cultivate lovingkindness and good will, the workshop will be of benefit to anyone who is interested in the topic, no matter what spiritual tradition you might be interested in, or, for that matter, whether you are interested or involved in any spiritual tradition at all.  The focus will simply be on how a person can cultivate a felt sense and attitude of lovingkindness toward themselves, others, and all beings everywhere.
