Thursday, March 31st 2022 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET

In this lively conversation, Amanda will be joined by Ten Percent Happier meditation teacher (and frequent New York Insight guest teacher) Jay Michaelson for an intimate and personal discussion on how Loving-Kindness meditation can really work, especially in challenging times.

If you’re new to meditation, Amanda will show how cultivating loving-kindness can be a valuable alternative to basic mindfulness. If you’ve practiced the Brahma Viharas before, we’ll explore new ways to enliven your practice so that you can take the next steps in deepening it. And if you’re really wondering whether you can become a more loving and compassionate person, we’ll try to persuade you.

All proceeds for this event will be donated as dana to New York Insight Meditation.
