We all know how challenging it can be to maintain a calm, kind attitude when dealing with people we find difficult — or even people we care about the most. This course focuses on an ancient meditation practice called "Lovingkindness." Through guided meditation, reflection, discussion, and experiential exercises, students will explore this transformative practice that fosters emotional resilience, deepens relationships, reduces self-criticism, and cultivates a more compassionate response to life’s challenges. No previous meditation experience required.
