Half-Day Retreat: The Magical Practice of Giving

The Buddhist meditation practice of "giving by means of love" is an unparalleled method for cultivating a truly compassionate heart and expanding our capacity for joy. This profound ancient technique naturally releases us from the painful focus on our own concerns, replacing it with a limitless wish to see others happy. It has the power to transform our relationships, increase our mental peace, and allow us to experience the deep satisfaction of genuine generosity. It's one of the key meditations used to propel us towards our own enlightenment.

During this retreat, we will receive practical commentary and guided instruction on this extraordinary meditation. In this way, through the course of the morning, we will develop and deepen our familiarity with the practice of "giving" and learn how to use this powerful technique in our daily life to effortlessly benefit both ourself and others.

What to Expect:

• Simple and effective guided meditations
• Practical advice for deepening our experience of meditation on loving-kindness
• Time for contemplation and Q&A in a tranquil setting
