One and the Same: Mind and Heart

A Daylong Retreat of Mindfulness and Lovingkindness 

Guiding Teacher, Larry Yang will be teaching a daylong retreat on the Metta practice or Mindfulness with Loving Kindness.

This daylong meditation retreat will explore the interwoven nature of Mindfulness with Lovingkindness (or Metta). Both are spiritual practices which create a more expansive heart and more peaceful mind. They are doors into the experience of Freedom and greater happiness. There will be contemplative sitting and walking meditations along with group exercises and sharing, which support our collective deepening into feeling the Awareness within Love, and the Love that flows from Awareness. Both new and more experienced practitioners are invited to attend. Please bring your own lunch, and a cushion if you use one.
