Sacred Waters 2025 Retreat

The Dance of the Heart

A meditation retreat exploring the liberation, interconnectedness and delight of Metta (loving kindness).

Metta, a kindly compassionate attitude towards ourselves and others, no matter who they are, lies at the heart of what the Buddha teaches, helping us develop stability of the heart and mind to steer us during difficult times. There will be periods of meditation (guided and unguided), short talks, silence (in the evening through breakfast) and free times to be with others or just be.

There are opportunities for swimming and some hiking.

Led by Taraprabha and Amaradhi who are long time members of the Seattle Buddhist Center and enjoy sharing the Dharma with their community.
