Is it possible that our own fear and fixed beliefs keep us from experiencing ourselves and the world with an orientation of love?

During this weekend retreat we relax the schedule and forms, allowing body and heart to release and open.

We will immerse ourselves in the practices of Loving Kindness and Compassion, cultivating the undefended, expansive heart needed to respond to the chaos of our modern world.

Beginners Welcome.
