Friends of the Heart is a group of lay people who actively pursue philosophical and ethical teachings and traditions of Buddhism, yoga, Christianity and Sufism, while maintaining an active, ordinary life within the community. Meeting informally for the past 19 years, Friends of the Heart incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in 1990. The group offers a variety of study courses at their Centre on Yonge Street near Eglinton Avenue.
Classes are open to women and men, children and families.
They also offer city retreats and three to five country retreats per year.
