Insight Dialogue, Heart to Heart - Cultivating the Brahma Viharas in Relationship
With Rachel Hammerman
November 3 - 25, 2025
How can we cultivate a heart that opens to the 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows of this world?
In this course, we’ll cultivate a boundless heart through Insight Dialogue.
Week by week, heart to heart, we’ll contemplate the four sublime abidings, or Brahma Viharas – Metta (Lovingkindness), Karuna (Compassion), Mudita (Appreciative Joy) and Upekkha (Equanimity). We’ll experience the immediacy of these four immeasurable heart qualities with meditation partners, giving rise to insight we won’t experience in our individual practice.
Together, we’ll deepen in the meditative qualities and dhamma wisdom that frees the heart from suffering.
