Online: Metta-Vipassana – Integrating the Four Foundations of Mindfulness with Heart Practices

November 8, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

with Dave Smith

Sunday, November 8th, 2020 from 10:00am - 12:00pm

Vipassana meditation (insight or mindfulness practice) unites the stillness of concentration with the immediacy of moment to moment experience. As we learn to calm the body and mind, intuitive wisdom arises. This allows us to open to the truth of each moment’s experience within and around us. In this way, we increase our ability to meet life’s ups and downs with ease and presence. During this event, students will be guided on how to deepen their liberation practice in an atmosphere of kind awareness.
