| During this silent retreat, we will cultivate what the Buddha called “the beautiful states of heart and mind,” the Brahmaviharas or Divine Abodes. These are the qualities of love, compassion, joy and equanimity inherent in us all. We will explore and practice each one in order to deepen our understanding of these qualities and strengthen our natural, innate kindness. As our hearts open, we discover a sense of joy, balance, and interconnection with all of life. There will be guided sitting meditations, walking meditations, dharma talks, as well as large and small group discussions |
