Discovering (Self) Compassion
Metta (aka Maitri) Meditation with Kimberly Brown
Shantideva Meditation Center 
Thursdays Sept 12, 19, 26 - 7-8:30pm 

When practicing loving-kindness, it's best to start wherever you are, close to yourself. In that way it's realistic. ~Lama Yeshe

 Though compassion is often confused with putting others' welfare above our own, real wisdom understands that genuine self-concern is a necessary foundation for kindness and compassion towards all beings. In this three week series, we’ll look at the difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence, transform emotional barriers and resistances, and practice responding to self-judgement and criticism with understanding and patience.

This program is open to everyone. No experience with meditation is necessary, and you’re welcome to attend one or all of the sessions.
