How to Have Happier Relationships with Kimberly Brown

In her new book, Happy Relationships: 25 Buddhist Practices to Transform Your Connection with Your Partners, Family, and Friends, meditation teacher Kimberly Brown explains how we can all create joyful, lasting bonds with the people who matter most to us. It’s a practical guidebook for cultivating appreciation, setting healthy expectations, and nurturing meaningful, intimate attachments, using traditional tools of mindfulness and lovingkindness practices.

In this special event, Kim will share teachings, meditations, and exercises from the book and from her years of study and teaching, to encourage your innate qualities of compassion, patience, and clarity. You’ll learn to develop positive connections with yourself and those close to you, and practice using your communication and actions to foster gratitude, set wise boundaries, and create deeper and long-lasting attachments of mutual support and caring.

This program is appropriate for and open to anyone who wants to rekindle their connections and rediscover the beauty of supportive, loving relationships. No experience with meditation or Buddhism is necessary and all are welcome.
