Study Group

Advanced-Loving Kindness

with Diana Winston
Starts May 2025

In this study group, we'll take a deep dive into the practice of loving-kindness, exploring the multiple types of loving kindness practices.

In this class we will:

• Discover ways the practice can be used to cultivate concentration—including absorption states.
• Identify its benefit for working with challenging emotions
• Understand the relationship to mindfulness practice and how loving-kindness can be used to cultivate insight
• Explore loving-kindness as a facet of awareness itself
• Integrate it into our daily life
• Touch upon other related heart-based qualities

Through lecture, meditations, dialogue, and guided and relational exercises, we will deepen our understanding and embodiment of loving-kindness through a six-month study group format.
