Feeling joyful and connected to others is essential for our sense of wellbeing, inner peace, and happiness.
However, even in a city like Toronto, surrounded by millions of people, a sense of connection can be elusive, leaving us feeling isolated even in an age of ‘connectivity’.
Connection is something we experience in the mind, and therefore it is a feeling that needs to be cultivated by the mind.
In this meditation series, we will explore simple but powerful meditations that gently open the heart and create a genuine feeling of connection with others.
We discover a natural warmth and openness from within, allowing us to enjoy life more fully and find greater meaning and purpose.
Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly theme.
Each class stands alone, so you can join at any time and book individual sessions. The meditations are practised seated on chairs.
We also have books available to support deeper understanding and to help you deepen your experience through reading and reflection.
No previous experience of meditation is required. Everyone is welcome.
Maria Gonzalez-Castaneda brings a wealth of personal experience to her meditation classes acquired through years of dedicated study, practice, and completion of long meditation retreats within Kadampa Buddhism. As a dedicated teacher and volunteer at KMC Canada, she embodies warmth and loving-kindness, making her very approachable and easy to relate to. Maria teaches in an engaging, practical manner, inspiring people in their meditation practice and helping them discover their own source of happiness from within.
