Sunday Meditation Class: The Art of Not Getting Annoyed

November 1 - November 29 | 10 - 11:30am with Buddhist teacher Jennifer DeSantis

Some people are easy to love.

Others… seem to test our spiritual practice. In this 5-week meditation series, The Art of Not Getting Annoyed, we’ll explore how to move from irritation, judgment, and reactivity toward genuine affection, gratitude, and appreciation for others.

Through practical Buddhist wisdom and guided meditations, we’ll discover why we sometimes push people away, how our own mind creates dislike, and how changing the way we see others can completely change the way we experience them.

Week by week, we’ll learn to soften our reactions, recognize the kindness and good qualities in others, and even become genuinely happy for their happiness and success.

Everyone is welcome. No previous meditation experience is needed.

Class Topics:

Nov 1: Why We Need More Love in Our Lives

Nov 8: Why We Push People Away

Nov 15: Learning to Like the Ones You Don’t

Nov 22: Gratitude — The Unfiltered Version

Nov 29: Being Happy for Them — And Mean It

No meditation experience needed – Everyone is invited to drop in to any or all sessions in this series

$15 per class | Free for Members
