Advanced-Loving Kindness Study Group
Join Diana Winston May-November 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.
