Brahma Viharas as Insight Practice

The Brahma Viharas are not only about cultivating positive emotion. When practiced skillfully, they can be the basis for profound insight into the nature of reality. On this weekend, we will take a deep experiential dive into Metta — through talks and guided practices that foster a heart-centered understanding of our interconnectivity with all that is.

This is the first of two standalone retreats covering all of the Brahma Viharas. You are welcome to sign up for this weekend by itself. You do not have to commit to attending Part 2 (offered on December 8-10).

Our TFO Retreat Team and Administrative costs are covered by the Alokasetu - Bridge of Light - Fund - please consider a one-off or monthly donation to support ordination training team in our region.

This event is open to women * who have requested ordination with the Triratna Buddhist Order.

*The Triratna Buddhist movement has a long, rich history of offering women-only practice spaces. At the same time, we welcome participation from a diversity of gender identities, including trans women and those who identify as non-binary. We ask all participants to be open to this broader definition of a women-centered space. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at alokasetu@gmail.com.
