Loving kindness and self-compassion
Online opportunity to explore kinder ways of being with ourselves and others
Metta is the virtue of friendliness or loving-kindness towards ourselves and others. In the Buddhist tradition a meditation practice is used to cultivate this quality. This practice has been part of the Buddhist tradition since the time of the Buddha who himself recommended the practice.
We often find it more difficult to develop metta toward ourselves so during the retreat, along with exploring and experiencing different ways of approaching the development of metta, we will be offering a sprinkling of self-compassion practices.
The retreat will take place entirely online through the weekend, so you can participate from home. Short online sessions will be interspersed with spacious offline private reflection, practice and writing time.

Friday 6-8pm (including wider Sangha puja)
Saturday and Sunday 9-10.15am, 11.30am - 12.30pm, 4-5pm
