All are welcome to participate in this special one-day retreat of Metta (Loving Kindness) practice. Metta reunites us with what it means to be alive and free. It is a commitment to our own happiness, seeing our happiness as the basis for connection with all of life. The practice fills us with joy and love as well as heals all the hurt places in our hearts. This retreat will include periods of silent meditation, instruction in the Metta practice, talks on the theme of the day, sacred music and group discussion. This will be a beautiful retreat that you don't want to miss!
