Course
Tending the Heart that Tends Others: A Class for Caregivers
Candace Cassin and Anne Fine
5 Fridays, February 12 - March 12; 11:00am - 12:30pm
Suggested donation: $40-100 registration + teacher donation (we encourage you to consider teacher dana equal to or greater than the amount you gave for registration)*
Caregiving can be one of the most powerful dharma teachers. Whether short term or a more enduring experience, it is often an intensive invitation into wisdom, patience, compassion, and the capacity to bear witness to suffering. In this class we will explore meditation, essential teachings of the Buddha, and practices in contemplative care to support our hearts and minds in bringing wisdom and compassion both to ourselves and those for whom we care. If you are involved in caregiving for aging parents; for an ill or disabled spouse, partner, family member, or friend; or in your professional work, this class will offer space to practice, and fellow companions on this journey.
This event uses a different Zoom link that has been sent to all registrants. If you would like to join the course, please register and then text 413-309-9220 (or call) to receive the zoom link.
*In keeping with the Buddhist tradition of dana (generosity), the suggested registration amounts for our classes and retreats (other than Wednesday night dharma talks) do not include any payment for the teacher. The teachers are paid entirely out of the students' generosity. Please consider giving a donation to the teacher in order to support their ability to continue to share the dharma. You may give a donation at the time of registration and give later donations through our teacher dana link. Everyone is welcome to all of our events regardless of ability to donate.
You can give online or send checks to InsightPV, 116 Pleasant Street, Suite 242, Easthampton, MA 01027.
