Online: Brahma-Vihara Retreat – A Half-Day Retreat on the Buddhist Heart Practices

Saturday, April 8th, 2023 | 1:00pm – 5:00pm ET

If you have ever wondered what it means to develop “heart” in your meditation practice or the capacity to be more kind-hearted towards yourself or others, this half-day online retreat will be a perfect next step for you and your meditation practice.

During this retreat, meditation teacher and author, Amanda Gilbert will be sharing the timeless teachings of the Brahma-Viharas – Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy and Equanimity – also known as ‘The Four Sublime States’ or ‘Divine Abodes.’

These teachings are a training for the heart to reside in its original state of loving awareness and open-heartedness. Each Brahma-Vihara holds its own unique flavor of love and meditative quality to incorporate into your meditation practice and daily life.

In this half-day retreat you will explore the Brahma-Viharas in formal meditation practice, dharma teachings, and personal reflection. There will be periods of walking meditation and time for group discussion at the end of the retreat.

This retreat is open to all and no prior meditation experience is necessary. This is an Online Retreat. Confirmation details and sign-in information will be sent by email after registration.
