This daylong retreat will offer a combination of meditation practice and experiential exercises which cultivate and explore compassion as both a support and a fruit of practice. The day will offer a mixture of silence, practice in right/mindful speech, and compassionate listening practices. Beginning and experienced meditators are welcomed.
