This Wednesday's offering is from Tara Brach:
https://www.tarabrach.com/meditation-forgiving-freeing-hearts/
Forgiveness for others becomes possible when we’ve held our own being with great compassion. This short talk and guided meditation brings forth our most awake and tender presence as we ask for forgiveness, offer care to the woundedness within us, and then extend forgiveness to another who has hurt us.
We follow meditation with a time for sharing thoughts,
joys, difficulties and questions about meditation practice,
and how it is working (or not) in daily life.The sharing/discussion period offers an opportunity to listen deeply to one another while also paying attention to what arises in oneself.
Confidentiality is honored.

(Participation does not require speaking- mindful listening is enough.)

From time to time short readings will be offered as topics of reflection and discussion.

Meetings will close with a short sitting and guided loving-kindness practice.

The group is open at this time, and you may invite others to attend.
