The Healing Power of Pure Love: Silent Meditation Retreat

Love is a powerful medicine that is both healing and transformational. 

Everyone needs love in their hearts. Love makes you happy; love makes others happy. It is nourishing, protective, and provides joy and meaning to our life. Through the practice of love, each day will have a clear direction and purpose, and we will gradually access our potential to experience a powerful, pure, and all-embracing love that brings tremendous happiness to our family, friends, and finally to everyone. 

Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments.
