(So we just take a break on 28 December.)

Living with kindness urban retreat
Saturday 18 January - Friday 24 January

A great way to come together and practice more intensively, diving into the Buddha's teachings on loving-kindness (metta) with Vidyamala, Sona, Suvarnadhi and Ratnavyuha.

If you're in Auckland, join us for the weekend retreat days and online sessions during the week. More info here.
If you're not in Auckland, you can do the whole retreat online. More info here.

We appreciate you may not be able to make all sessions - that's okay. Come to as much as you can.
