We are told many stories about love. Our culture tells us that romantic love will make us happy. Advertisers imply that certain products will make us feel content. We’re conditioned to believe that we will finally be lovable once we’ve achieved certain goals or when our projects of self-improvement come to fruition. What if we could let go of these stories? What would it be like to love ourselves for who we are and to extend that love to those around us? And what if we were to extend unconditional love to all beings?
In this workshop we will explore the practice of metta meditation, or loving-kindness practice. “Metta” is the Pali word for the act of wishing well for ourselves and others, without exception. The practice of metta meditation strengthens our innate capacity to be loving, less judgmental, and more resilient. The power of loving-kindness practice cannot be underestimated, and the need for more of us to cultivate real love has never been more immediate or urgent.
This workshop is open to all. You do not need any prior experience with meditation or loving-kindness practice. It is also suitable for experienced meditators. As the late great Ram Dass said, “We’re all just walking each other home.”
