VIPASSANA (INSIGHT) & LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION RETREAT
Shirley Jayanta Johannesen
Queenswood Retreat Centre,
Victoria, B.C.
The focus of this residential silent retreat will be to practise both moment to moment awareness (Vipassana) and Loving-Kindness (Metta) meditation. The core of Vipassana meditation is the cultivation of mindfulness - that special quality of awareness that sees things as they really are and to experience the changing nature of all things, while Loving-Kindness meditation focuses on developing and nourishing the qualities of the heart that bring joy and peacefulness. This retreat is an excellent opportunity for both new and experienced meditators.
