2024 10 06 Melina Bondy “Love as Action, Love as Skill, Love as Gift”

Guest speaker Melina Bondy looks at Love as Action, Skill and Gift by drawing upon the work of bell hooks' all about love, Thich Nhat Hanh's interbeing and the Buddhist teaching of the brahmaviharas: loving-kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), appreciative joy (mudita), and equanimity (upekkha). We’ll reflect on love not merely as a feeling, but as an active practice and a gift to recognize and receive, in the mundane and sublime moments of life. Julia Thompson tells a story illustrated by paper folding. Susanne Maziarz sings songs of Love. Moira MacDonald weaves the service.
