The Power of True Kindness: A Daylong Mindfulness Retreat

The presence of mindfulness infused with the warmth of a kind heart profoundly transforms our own experience of being alive and how we relate with others and with the world. Kindness expresses an attitude of connection with life; the word “kind” has the same root as “kin” or family. When we are truely kind we deeply listen – to ourselves, to others, to life. In this daylong retreat we will explore how we can cultivate and find our home in true kindness, in our moment-by-moment living of our daily lives.

The retreat day will include meditation instruction, sitting and walking meditation, guided practices and a talk and discussion, with opportunity for questions in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Everyone is welcome: beginners and more experienced practitioners. Space is limited! This event will be limited to 25 participants.
