SUMMARY:Online: Rest\, Resilience\, Renewal\, Release - Exploring the four brahmavihāra heart qualities in daily life
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION \nThe four brahmavihāra heart practices of kindness\, compassion\, appreciative joy and equanimity are powerful tools that strengthen our inner resources\, helping us to navigate the individual and collective challenges of our times. \nAlthough the brahmavihāra are often taught as formal meditation practices to develop concentration\, in this online weekend retreat\, we will explore a range of different approaches aimed at cultivating these skillful qualities in the midst of everyday life. Through a mix of guided meditations\, dharma talks and small group discussion\, we will develop the capacity to rest in kindness\, strengthen resilience through compassion\, orient to appreciative joy for renewal of our energy\, and experience the peace of equanimity that comes through the release of reactivity. \nThis retreat is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners. However\, please make a commitment to attending all of the sessions over three days as this is not a drop-in event. \n  \nONLINE RETREAT STRUCTURE \nFriday 12 May \n7:00 pm-9:00 pm Introduction to the retreat structure and theme; dharma talk and guided meditation. \nSaturday 13 May \n9:00 am-12:00 pm Personal practice time in daily life (off-line self practice). \n2:00 pm-5:00 pm Group practice online\, including guided meditation\, dharma talk\, and small group discussion. \nSunday 14 May \n9:00 am-12:00 pm Personal practice time in daily life (off-line self practice). \n2:00 pm-5:00 pm Group practice online\, including guided meditation\, dharma talk\, and small group discussion. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES \nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity.
