COURSE
Explore The Four Brahmavihārās - Seed Goodness In Your Life
With Megan Hook
The Four Brahmavihārās are taught by the Buddha and found in Buddhist texts as well as non-Buddhist texts such as the Upanishads and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Buddha taught that these positive states of lovingkindness (Mettā), compassion (Karunā), sypathetic joy (Muditā), and equanimity ( Upekkhā), seed much goodness in the life. We will dive into each one, study the near and far enemies, and also explore practices to grow our understanding of and connection to each Brahmavihārā.

Thank you for this course, Megan. I’ve focused on the brahmaviharas so many times individually, but not really in combination. You’ve made them really accessible, easy to understand and integrate. I look forward to exploring more deeply and grateful to you for this robust foundation. 🙏

A beautiful course presented with thoughtfulness and love. I could feel Megan’s care, compassion and wisdom behind her narration and take away a deeper sense of openness and peace at it’s conclusion. I want to add that Megan’s responsiveness in the classroom also enhanced my experience. Thank you! 🙏🏼
