Meditation of Love - Hybrid 1:00 PM
Description
About the Class:
Join Jan Webb for a brief meditation series exploring the profound concept of love. In this thought-provoking journey, we will delve into questions like: What is love? How are we loved? What is the true meaning of love? The series draws inspiration from two influential books: True Love by Thich Nhat Hanh and Love by Leo Buscaglia. Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings on mindfulness and compassion guide us through a deeper understanding of love, while Leo Buscaglia, who taught a popular course called The Love Class at USC in the 1970s, offers insights into the powerful role love plays in our lives. After the success of his class, Buscaglia wrote a concise yet impactful book on the subject, which continues to inspire.
