Better Relationships Start Within
Better relationships do not begin by changing other people. They begin by changing our mind.
The quality of our relationships depends largely on the state of our mind. When we are stressed, reactive, or overwhelmed, even small interactions can become difficult. But when our mind is calm, clear, and positive, we naturally experience more patience, connection, and happiness.
In this practical meditation series, our team of experienced teachers will share Buddhist wisdom and guided meditations to help you develop healthier relationships, greater emotional balance, and a more peaceful mind.
Each class includes:
• guided meditation 
• a practical teaching 
• contemplative time 
• Q&amp;A
Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike. Everyone is welcome.
