Insight Meditation Center Newburyport, Newburyport MA
This evening sitting, talk, and discussion will emphasize developing and supporting the heart, specifically focusing on cultivating the heart of compassion that can care about suffering with sweetness and strength. Compassion is an easily misunderstood quality, sometimes mistaken for despair or pity. What is true compassion? How do we open to suffering and care about it without getting overwhelmed and grief stricken? We will look at and develop compassion from the angles of tenderness, strength, fierceness, and spaciousness. You can register for Friday’s event, for Saturday’s half day retreat, or for both parts together.
