ONLINE: Strengthening the Heart of Happiness

September 22–October 13, 2025

Buddhist Path, Meditation & Mindfulness, Online Programs, Online Retreats

What does happiness mean to you?

How do you experience contentment?

What makes a meaningful life?

How do you support your well-being?

The Buddha gave us many teachings to help guide and support us in our everyday lives that remain just as vital now as 2,600 years ago. In these times of change and uncertainty, spiritual practice is a refuge, a strength, and a vital path for well-being.

Join Heidi Bourne for this nourishing four-week series exploring enduring teachings practices that open the heart and engage our lives with clarity, kindness, and trusted wisdom.

  1. Lovingkindness (Metta) & Compassion
  2. Joy
  3. Morality & Wisdom
  4. Equanimity

Each 90 minute session includes meditation, a dharma talk, and time to talk with each other. Everyone is welcome, both new and seasoned practitioners. Sessions will take place each Monday from 5:00 – 6:30 pm starting September 22nd, and ending with the final session on October 13th.
