The Divine Abodes - A Workshop on the
Brahma Viharas

NOTE: This opportunity will be facilitated online via Zoom; the times are EST.

There are a set of practices that were, even thousands of years ago - in the days of Patanjali and the Vedas - referred to as “ancient.” When these practices are engaged, and when focused awareness is devoted to the practice, the mind becomes pure. The traits and qualities - the ways of being - of Brahma, of the gods, of the divine, become available to all of us. These four traits are the Brahma Viharas, the Divine Abodes. What are these four traits:

• Metta : Loving-kindness, or Friendliness

• Karuna : Compassion

• Mudita : Sympathetic Joy and Goodwill

• Uppekha : Equanimity

What would your life be like if you led with these four traits? Let us discover and explore these abodes together.

We are proud to announce a 6 week interactive workshop on, and about, cultivating these divine states of being. Starting on January 31 and running through March 14th, we’ll familiarize ourselves with, develop, explore, and practice putting these divine states of being into practice with ourselves, and in our lives everyday. We’ll do some of this work on our own through directive exercises, and we’ll come together once per week as a community to talk about our practice, share experiences, successes, and challenges, and get some clarity on some concepts if needed.

Will there be homework? Yes! Cheri loves homework.

Will there be guided meditation, you bet! You know Paul’s got you covered there.

Will there be directive and introspective writing prompts to help you unlock and unblock what gets in your way? Cheri’s on it… and a true professional she is!

Will there be practice for you to find the ways in which you can develop your own states of divinity in your life? Absolutely! And we’ll be practicing alongside you.

Will you find a supportive community where you can be yourself, even when you don’t feel like your best self? That’s our greatest wish for every Paul and Cheri space!

What a way to begin another unbelievable year. We would love for you to join us on this journey!
