About the event
Join us for this heart-centered retreat on the 4 Immeasurables, also known as the four divine abodes, the four boundless qualities, and the four sublime or excellent states - loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy (joy in the happiness of others), and equanimity. They are limitless qualities and considered sublime and excellent because they are the most wholesome, loving, and affirming way of relating to others and ourselves. Cultivating these qualities through meditation has been shown to increase wellbeing and life satisfaction in scientific studies.
The retreat is open to people of all faiths.
Free event. Registration is requested.
