Universal Compassion: Part 1
Friday-Sunday, 9th-11th January

Universal Compassion: Part 2
Friday-Saturday, 16th-18th January

Unconditional love and compassion lie at the very heart of Buddha’s teachings. During these two weekend retreats we will meditate on powerful and far-reaching methods that will move us closer to these altruistic states. On the first weekend we will emphasize the development of love, while on the second we will focus on the cultivation of compassion and wisdom.

The schedules will be the same for both weekends, with an introductory teaching on Friday night followed by guided meditations on Saturday and Sunday.
