Love is the Answer: A daylong on Metta practice

March 12, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm

with Spring Washam

The Buddha once said, “Searching all directions with one’s awareness, one finds no one dearer than oneself.” Our greatest and most challenging task on the spiritual path is to learn to love and accept ourselves. Self-hatred, inner aggression and self criticism is rooted in a mind that is confused and suffering. When we really love and honor ourselves there are no more questions. In this daylong we will focus on loving kindness, compassion and forgiveness practices dedicated to ourselves. This day will include meditation, group work and sacred music.
