However, even in a city like Ottawa, surrounded by people, a sense of connection can be elusive, leaving us feeling isolated even in an age of ‘connectivity’.Connection is something we experience in the mind, and therefore it is a feeling that needs to be cultivated by the mind. In this class we explore simple but powerful meditations that gently open the heart and create a genuine feeling of connection with others.Topic: Feeling Deeply Connected – living with a sense of interconnectedness, purpose, and lasting inner connection.The session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk, followed by time for Q&A, and refreshments after the class with a chance to chat with the Teacher and others. No previous experience is needed, and everyone is welcome.Cost: $15. Buy your ticket here on Eventbrite, book online on the class page, or pay at the door (cash, debit or credit).Membership is available on the website.Presented by Kadampa Meditation Centre Ottawa, a registered Canadian charity.
