Intimate retreat so available spots are limited.

The retreat will focus on the relationship between the four Brahma Viharas and how they support and balance one other. This retreat is a gentle introduction to the heart practices, as well as an opportunity for those familiar with the Brahma Viharas to deepen their understanding of them as a complement to their mindfulness meditation.
