Metta:
A Daylong Retreat with devon + nico hase
Sunday, April 28th
10 am to 4 pm central time
in person in Madison, WI
Life is hard. And if we're not careful, we can slip into a subtle hardness toward life, and to the ones we share our lives with.
What's the answer?
In a word: metta. Through the cultivation of lovingkindness, a basic stance of friendliness, we can soften into each moment, and use every relationship, whether it's easy or difficult, as a stepping stone to awakening.
🌳🌳🌳
In this one-day in-person retreat, devon + nico will delve into the practice of metta ("kindness"), that quality of the heart that softens to each moment.
The day will begin with an hour of conversation and an opening talk around the theme. We’ll then sit and walk for four hours in lightly guided practice, before reconvening for a closing talk and further dialogue.
