Romantic Love, Everyday Disappointment: Meditation & Relationships with Acharya Judith Simmer-Brown

Discover how meditation helps us to create more fulfilling and lasting intimate relationships.

There is nothing as delicious as falling in love and nothing as devastating as falling out of it. When this happens, we have a unique opportunity to open more fully to our experience and to more complete relationships with others. We will explore the romantic expectations of love relationships and how, through meditation practice, we might work more closely with the dynamics of masculine and feminine, independence and intimacy. This weekend includes meditation and is intended for individuals or couples interested in a mindful Buddhist perspective on romance.
