Mapping the Heart of Metta: A Journey Towards Tenderness and Love

January 5, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

with Amana Brembry Johnson

The heart is a lantern that illuminates the path of our lives.  It is also the lens through which we view the world. That lens, when rubbed against the abrasions of experience, begins to glow dim with distortion.  The practice of Lovingkindness clears our vision to see the heart in its true nobility, resilience, and tenderness. During this daylong we will practice Loving Kindness meditation.  Through group and community discussion we will identify and strengthen the ways in which we practice self-love, and ways to enhance our capacity to radiate compassion into a world on fire that is crying for love.

Space is limited and registration is requested. 

Cost: There is no registration fee for attending this event, nor most EBMC events. However, EBMC is not independently funded. The Center and the teachers will be sustained only by your voluntary donations (the practice of generous giving, or “dana”). Please donate generously, in proportion to your ability:

* Either online (you will be offered an opportunity during the online registration process to donate to EBMC; the teachers will not receive any part of this online donation).
* Or at the event, in the two baskets at EBMC, one for the Center, the second for the Teacher.

Thank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity.
