I am super delighted to announce the first of two online programs being offered in the fall.
\nWelcome to our Autumn Retreat offering: "Lovingkindness. The Heart Of The Matter"
\nMetta, often translated as Lovingkindness, is one of the Four Immeasurable Minds in the Buddhist traditions. During these twelve weeks our facilitator Chris Luard will guide us through an exploration cultivating a boundless quality of kindness, friendliness, and care. In drawing on the meditation techniques found in the Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist traditions, neuroscience and psychology, this retreat will bring its participants to experience the circle of kindness and care widening gradually to include all beings everywhere.
\nThe sessions are offered live, not pre-recorded.
\nThe Lovingkindness live sessions will be on Sunday at 12 noon to 2:30pm.
\nMeetings will occur live on Zoom and will be recorded for those participants who miss the live sessions, or for those who wish to enjoy the course at their own pace.
\nThe retreat opens Oct 1st and closes Dec 17th 2023.
\nSessions will include guided meditations, Q n A, A one to one private session with Chris, and interactive discussions with the retreat participants If you would like to participate, but find these times limiting, please feel free to message Chris here on Facebook or through the website: www.suchsweetthunder.org
\nThe fee for the complete eight week offering is 119.00 USD. There are scholarships and financial assistance available, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Spaces are limited.
\nSigning up for this special offering in advance is recommended. To do so, message Chris directly on FB, chrisluard@yahoo.com or through www.suchsweetthunder.org
