The Art of Loving: A Mindful Exploration of Love

The Art of Loving: A Mindful Exploration of Love

In the first gathering of 2026, we explore love beyond its familiar romantic frame, gently moving through different realms of love;
love for the self, love for the other, and love for life and all living beings.

Through art, poetry, and reflective readings, we will listen to how love speaks in different voices as tenderness toward one’s own becoming, as intimacy between two people, and as a boundless compassion that embraces the wider world.

The gathering will close with a guided loving-kindness (Metta) meditation.

This is an interactive, inclusive, and contemplative circle; no prior experience is needed. Our gathering will take place in a cozy setting, inviting quiet reflection and deeper connection.

Participation is possible with prior reservation only (limited spots).

We will share herbal tea, sweets, and Turkish coffee, with a small accompanying liqueur, during our time together.

Hope to see you in this gathering, where we expand our hearts together.
