Embodying Mettā (online)

Without a deeper understanding or familiarity with the subtle expressions of mettā, or the alternate doorways into cultivating this profound and limitless quality, loving-kindness meditation can mislead us to binary thinking, as in: "I am loving and kind” or “I am not loving and kind." In this daylong, we will explore the various doorways into cultivating mettā, as well as the spectrum in which it can come alive in our daily lives.

4-weeks of Dharma: The Three Marks of Existence

In a life filled with demands and distractions, is it possible to slow down and return to what is really important?

Dates: Wednesdays November 4, 11, 18, and 25.

Time: 6:30 - 8:30 PM ET
