Heartbreak touches our lives in myriad forms, great and small. Sometimes, it seems we glimpse our hopes for happiness through a hazy gauze of "if onlys" that keep us rushing outwards, constantly busy and craving. We  project possible fulfillment onto things, others, and experiences, themselves incapable of satisfying our deepest wish.

Buddha Shakyamuni, the consummate healer, offers myriad teachings and practices serving to salve, and ultimately cure, the longing that colors our days. Our very lives offer the priceless opportunity for encountering his path and practicing the subtle art of making it come alive in our own experience.

Come join us in opening an exploration of the Buddha's profound approach to healing the heartbreak of being human!
