About this IMS Online Program

Participate in the full program or choose the months that interest you most.

When teaching Metta, we often hear from students that cultivating loving-kindness for themselves is the hardest part. But how can we have Metta for others if we cannot start with the person closest to us? During this year-long program, a variety of IMS Online teachers will guide us through the tender practice of turning our Metta inward as the ground upon which we can cultivate loving-kindness for all beings. 

This program is available as individual months, although we recommend that you join us for the entire year to learn different teachers’ approaches to this practice, in order to find some that work best for you.
