Description
We invite you to join local dharma leader Nina LaBoy on Saturday, Sept 28, from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm PDT for a Day of Mindfulness: A Metta Lovingkindness Way.
Metta (Loving-Kindness) Meditation is a complementary practice to Vipassana (Mindfulness) Meditation. It is a formal practice originally taught by the Buddha as an antidote to fear. When we practice Metta we awaken to our own intrinsic wholeness, peacefulness and kindness and we provide an opportunity to deepen our compassion and equanimity. There will be specific instruction in Metta and in walking meditation, also, Dharma talks , group interviews and opportunities for discussion with the teachers. This silent retreat is suitable for beginning and experienced students of meditation.
This event will meet in a hybrid setting, both In-Person and Online simultaneously. Zoom log in information and more detailed information about how the Day of Mindfulness will unfold will be emailed to registrants by the day before the event.
When you register, you will be required to choose between In-Person and Online.
