I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Welcome!
We’re thrilled to offer this meditation retreat taught by Devon Hase, Nolitha Tsengiwe and Yong Oh, beginning on Saturday, May 29, at 10 am ET.
During this weekend retreat, we’ll deepen our understanding of love in its various forms. Through compassion and devotion practices, we’ll explore how these mind states lead to equanimity and peace of mind. Sessions will include silent meditation, Dharma Talks, heart practices, and community discussion. The retreat is offered in Meeting format: During program sessions, you will be able to see and hear the teachers, as well as other program participants, and they will be able to see and hear you.
