Group Information
We have a 35-40 minute meditation - guided or silent depending on the pulse of the group each week. We then have a Dhamma talk or reading and discussion. There is also time to share/discuss practice stuff or other desired topics.
Hello dear ones,
Thank you for the beautiful discussion last week. This week we are going to dive into metta, that warm heart energy. We discuss the various ways metta shows up in the Buddha's teachings and specifically as a Parmami, and then we will take a look at the Metta Sutta and discuss. How are your hearts doing? We will likely talk about some flood imagery too ;) Really looking forward to seeing those of you who can make it tomorrow-much love and solidarity _/\_

I created a form that people can use any time to offer feedback for the group, and propose topics if you don't feel like doing so during the group. That form is here. I will just leave it open for the foreseeable future.
