with Amanda Gilbert
Saturday, October 5th, 2024 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor
If you have ever wondered what it means to develop loving kindness or “metta” in your meditation practice or how to be more kind-hearted towards yourself or others, this half-day retreat will be a perfect next step.
During this half-day retreat, meditation teacher and author Amanda Gilbert will share the timeless teachings of loving kindness with a focus on self-kindness that can expand into the world at large. During these topsy-turvy times, kindness can be the key ingredient that gives us the strength and resilience to navigate our life with skillfulness and clarity.
Over the course of three hours, you will explore kindness 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.
