In this two hour class we will explore the barriers that can come between us and a deeply felt sense of love. Our hearts can become hardened by internal and external messages we receive, shame, feelings of worthlessness and/or beliefs we have internalized about whether we deserve love. The great news is a deeply felt sense of love can be accessed and everyone, including you, deserves love. Please join us for a discussion and guided meditations meant to soften our hearts and inspire compassion and love. No prior meditation experience necessary.
