Metta
, the Pali word for kindheartedness, grows from our innate human capacity for caring and connection. It can be cultivated as a powerful support for well-being, joy, stability of mind, and the deepening of our meditation practice.

In this class series, we will explore a range of techniques for developing kindness, as well as ways to navigate the obstacles that often get in the way of living with more ease, happiness, and peace.

Metta practice is especially enjoyable and fruitful during the holidays.

This class is suitable for beginning and experienced practitioners alike.  All are welcome!

There is no fee for this course and dana will be accepted.

This event will be held in person at the White Heron Sangha Meditation Center.

Registration for this class series is required.

Optional supplemental material:
Metta Sutta

Ayya Khema’s book “The Path to Peace”
