About this IMS Online On-Demand Retreat

This program was recorded live on May 27, 2023

During this daylong on-demand recording, we'll dive into the practice of Metta, or loving-kindness, as taught in the Visuddhimagga. Using phrases, images and felt sense, we'll cultivate the unconditional heart that wishes goodness for ourselves, others, and even those most difficult to love. In developing the natural kindness of the heart, we can trust that we're building the skills to wisely respond to our own challenges, as well as our collective challenges of these times.

Open for beginning and seasoned meditators alike. All are welcome. This on-demand retreat includes dharma teachings and meditation instructions for both sitting and walking meditation.

Enrollment Fee

As one part of our ongoing effort to expand access to the teachings of the Buddha, no-fee enrollment is available for those who request a fee-waiver via email.
