# Event Details - **Event Name**: Wychwood Library Series: Meditation for Connection with Others - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 07:15 pm - **Event Description**: A Practical Three-Week Meditation Course for Everyday LifeAbout this EventWychwood Branch Public Library@ 1431 Bathurst St, Toronto, ON M5R 3J2TUESDAYSJune 30, July 7 & 14 6:30 pm - 7:45 pm$15 / class or $40 for the series of 3 classesFeeling joyful and connected to others is essential for our sense of wellbeing, inner peace, and happiness.However, even in a city like Toronto, surrounded by millions of 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 meditation series, we will explore simple but powerful meditations that gently open the heart and create a genuine feeling of connection with others.We discover a natural warmth and openness from within, allowing us to enjoy life more fully and find greater meaning and purpose.Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly theme.Each class stands alone, so you can join at any time and book individual sessions. The meditations are practised seated on chairs.We also have books available to support deeper understanding and to help you deepen your experience through reading and reflection. No previous experience of meditation is required. Everyone is welcome.Maria Gonzalez-Castaneda brings a wealth of personal experience to her meditation classes acquired through years of dedicated study, practice, and completion of long meditation retreats within Kadampa Buddhism. As a dedicated teacher and volunteer at KMC Canada, she embodies warmth and loving-kindness, making her very approachable and easy to relate to. Maria teaches in an engaging, practical manner, inspiring people in their meditation practice and helping them discover their own source of happiness from within.IMPORTANT: Due to city by-laws, booking must be done in advance using the booking below. ~Class dates & topics ~TUESDAY evenings, 6:30 pm - 7:45 pmJune 30~ Feeling Connected ~July 7~ Enhancing Connection ~July 14~ Loving Kindness Meditation ~Fees: $40 / discount for entire seriesor $15 per classClass pass holders: no charge(click here for more information about the monthly class pass)Terms & Conditions*This is a KMCC event and is not hosted by or sponsored by the Toronto Public Library - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/wychwood-library-series-meditation-for-connection-with-others/100001991319643659 - **Event Categories**: meditation, health-wellness, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 45 minutes - Location: Toronto Public Library - Wychwood Branch - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 15, max: 40, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Toronto Public Library - Wychwood Branch - **lat**: 43.68223039999999 - **long**: -79.4176761 - **full address**: Toronto Public Library - Wychwood Branch, 1431 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Wychwood Library Series: Meditation for Connection with Others - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ddbc928a2b477e2b08442113fd82b67069769648f8830f187a6de66da5df93c8-rimg-w541-h361-dc1159ac-gmir.jpg?v=1781072218 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Wychwood Library Series: Meditation for Connection with Others being held? - **A:** Wychwood Library Series: Meditation for Connection with Others takes place on Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 07:15 pm at Toronto Public Library - Wychwood Branch, 1431 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Wychwood Library Series: Meditation for Connection with Others? - **A:** Wychwood Library Series: Meditation for Connection with Others is organized by Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
