This good heart is the very essence of the Mahayana path and the main cause of great compassion - the wish to protect all living beings from fear and suffering.The retreat sessions include practical instructions, guided meditations, and time for questions and answers. Between sessions, there is time to relax, rest, and connect with like-minded people in our community space.
