Description:
Within each of us is a heart that is longing. It is longing for connection, for truth, and to return home to our deepest nature. This longing is clouded by personality patterns and mistaken conceptual understanding.

In this daylong we will practice being with the longing directly, and open ourselves through the heart practices called “divine abodes” (brahmavihāras). Through equanimity, self-compassion, self-love, and forgiveness we reveal the longing more directly, and find methods to satisfy it to whatever extent is possible. 

Longing for a return to our deepest nature drives many of us on the spiritual journey or path. As we work specifically with this longing and the resistance that often arises to it, we become more able to fully open to the universal heart qualities of the brahmavihāras.
