Liberation in the way of the heart – A Brahma Vihara practice retreat – Love, Forgiveness and Compassion

 

Out of a silent heart love is born,

When love meets suffering it becomes compassion, 

When love meets joy it becomes happiness” (Jack Kornfield)

 

Metta-lilly 

 

Often we tend to cultivate meditative practices which leave “out of the cushion” the qualities of softness, love, compassion and joy.

While putting an emphasis on forgiveness as a deep movement of surrender, strength and compassion, in this retreat we will study and cultivate friendship, love and liberation.

During the days we will practice age old meditation techniques in the tradition taught by the Buddha aimed at liberating the heart from patterns of contraction, fear, guilt, shame and anger, while we gently and wisely cultivate grace through seeing the good in all, intimacy with ourselves and

connection to the world.
