Event Details
Dates: August 9 – August 11, 2019; 10:00am – 4:30pm.
Sliding Scale: $225 – 600. Code OS1M19.
Description:
Rest, strength and wholeness are essential parts of any spiritual path. The Brahma Viharas are a set of practices for strengthening four positive mind states: kindness, compassion, joy and balance. These states can be cultivated as a source of resilience, a vehicle for concentration and a support for insight.
In this commuter retreat, we will explore meditative techniques for developing the four Brahma Viharas, and for releasing the obstacles to well-being. Our time together will include instructions, sitting and walking meditation, Dharma talks and question and answer sessions with the teacher.
