Transform Your Life with Loving Kindness
Spring Retreat with Kadampa Buddhist Nun & Guest Teacher Gen Kelsang Chögyan
(Partial booking is available.)
Join us for a weekend meditation retreat that will open your heart and bring peace, loving-kindness, and clarity into your life. Through guided meditations and teachings, you’ll discover the power of cultivating three types of love — affectionate love, cherishing love, and wishing love.
Loving-kindness meditations are simple, potent, and accessible, even for busy people. They help us develop confidence, relax, and improve our relationships with friends, family, and coworkers.
We'll focus on how to integrate these meditations into our daily activities so that you feel empowered to use them throughout the rest of your life.
