Loving Kindness

Join us for a transformative weekend retreat centered around Loving Kindness meditation, a powerful tool to open our hearts, cultivate empathy, and extend genuine kindness beyond our own limited boundaries. With roots in ancient Buddhist teachings, this practice guides us towards developing goodwill and friendliness towards ourselves and others, with the aspiration that all beings have happiness and be free from suffering.

In today’s fast-paced world, where information overload and societal pressures can overwhelm us, our hearts can easily close up, leaving us feeling lonely and anxious. However, there is a way to break free from this cycle.

During this retreat, we will explore the stages of the practice, offer guidance to overcome obstacles, and create a practical plan to integrate Loving Kindness into your daily life. Embrace this opportunity to reconnect with the immeasurable treasury of love within you and experience the profound impact it can have on your well-being.

“Real deepening of both meditation and Loving Kindness in a perfect environment where even the birds are loving.” (Karin)
