Online: Making Peace and Reconciling the Heart
with Bob Stahl, PhD
Thursday, December 4th, 2025 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET
As our meditation practice matures, we may recognize the importance of relinquishing opinions, grudges, judgments, and resentments through honest reconciliation. This is the path of the heart that leads to deeper wisdom and peace.
Over the course of this special online evening event, we’ll learn 4 important practices of reconciliation:
- Reconciliation for the times we’ve been hard on ourselves
- Reconciliation to those we’ve hurt
- Reconciliation to those who’ve hurt us
- Reconciliation with the way things are
With reconciliation, we learn to come to terms with life in a deeper and wiser way. The heart may naturally begin to open into loving kindness for ourselves, to others, and the world we live in. May this be a time to heal our hearts and make peace.
