All You Need is Love: Guided Meditation Retreat

Love is the foundation of all lasting and harmonious relationships and is the source of all peace and happiness. It protects us from anger, resentment, jealousy, fear and never causes pain. As Buddhist master Shantideva said, "All the happiness there is in the world arises from wishing others to be happy."

Join us as special guest teacher and Buddhist nun Gen Chokyi gives practical instructions and guides effective meditations on love that you can use in life at any time. She will especially emphasize the practical benefit of these meditations and insights, no matter how busy your life or how challenging your relationships may be.

No previous experience is necessary, and absolutely everyone is welcome!

Gen Chokyi will also lead a Valentine's Dinner & Meditation in Wicker Park on Friday, February 13.
