One and the Same: Mind and Heart--Mindfulness and Metta

One and the Same: Heart and Mind
A weekend retreat of Mindfulness and Lovingkindness

This weekend meditation retreat will explore the interwoven nature of
Mindfulness with Lovingkindness (or Metta). Both are practices which
create a more expansive heart and more peaceful mind. They are doors into
the experience of Freedom. The first day will introduce the Mindfulness
practices and the second day will merge the practices of Lovingkindness.
Both days will include contemplative sitting and walking meditations along
with group exercises and sharing, which support our collective deepening
into feeling the Awareness within Love, and the Love that flows from
Awareness. You are welcomed to attend either or both days, with an open
invitation to both new and more experienced practitioners.
