SUMMARY:Online Weekly Metta Meditation with Ian Challis and Friends
DESCRIPTION:When the Buddha’s followers felt anxious and afraid\, he taught them the practice of metta or lovingkindness meditation. Metta is a form of practice that helps us touch deeply into our own hearts\, uncover the energies of kindness and compassion\, and share these energies for the benefit of all beings.   \nIf you would like to explore this powerful practice\, please join Ian Challis and friends online. These 45-minute meetings will be practice-focused\, with most of the time spent in meditation. If you are new to the practice\, great! We will learn by doing. After practice\, there will be time for questions and sharing. \nCost: Donation basis; there is no charge to participate. Our center and teachers are supported by your generosity. Please give from your ability and heart at desertinsight.org \nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81581516374?pwd=ck05SElLelNLeU80ek44UnZuQjhsZz09Meeting ID: 815 8151 6374Passcode: ICDOne tap mobile+16694449171\,\,81581516374# US+16699009128\,\,81581516374# US (San Jose)Dial by your location        +1 669 444 9171 US        +1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)        +1 719 359 4580 US        +1 253 205 0468 US        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)        +1 386 347 5053 US        +1 507 473 4847 US        +1 564 217 2000 US        +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)        +1 646 931 3860 US        +1 689 278 1000 US        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)        +1 305 224 1968 US        +1 309 205 3325 US        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)        +1 360 209 5623 USMeeting ID: 815 8151 6374

SUMMARY:A Morning of Practice – An *In Person* Half-Day Retreat with Mary Stancavage
