Opening the Heart: Joy of Living Level 2 (cUS.MSN-H-J2-260927)

Joy of Living · Level 2 · Two-day hybrid workshop

You found awareness in Level 1. Level 2 finds something just as close: love and compassion, already present, just unrecognized.

We live with real division, and many of us carry a quiet loneliness underneath busy lives. Mingyur Rinpoche's answer isn't to try harder to be kinder. It's simpler: love and compassion are already your nature. Like awareness in Level 1 — not something to build, just something to recognize.

Opening the Heart is that practice — across two Sundays, moving from how you hold yourself, to how you meet others, to how you show up in the world.

• Video teachings from Mingyur Rinpoche on love, compassion, joy, and equanimity
• Guided meditations — both resting and analytical — facilitated by Kasumi
• Small group reflection: what you're actually noticing, not what you're supposed to feel
• Live Q&A and discussion
• Experiential exercises to bring the practice into daily life between sessions and beyond
• Catered vegetarian lunch each day

• Day 1: September 27, SUNDAY
• Day 2: October 4, SUNDAY
• Time: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm [US Central] * Vegetarian Lunch will be provided on both days.
• Format: Hybrid — in person at Tergar Madison (301 S Blount Street, Madison, WI.) and online via Zoom
• Recording: A recording of the workshop will be available for two months following the final session.
