Most people have heard about mindfulness these days, but ‘metta’ may be less well-known.

The metta bhavana is a meditation practice originally taught by the Buddha as an antidote to fear.

‘Metta’ means love, or universal loving kindness, and the meditation allows us to experience ourselves and our emotional states with more openness and receptivity.

With some practice, we find out that we are better people – kinder, more loving and creative – than we thought we were.

Please join our four-week course exploring this practice with Satyagita and friends, from Tuesday 6 June, 7-9pm.

For beginners, or people who already know the practice and perhaps find it a mystery or a struggle.
