The Brahmaviharas: a complete path
With Rijumitra and Tejapushpa
February 6 - 15, 2026
Do we dare to turn towards suffering or even the joy of the world? Do we dare to remain open to experience and see the truth of situations unfold? Do we dare to respond?

We will engage with the Brahmaviharas drawing out both their active and receptive components and show how they can be a complete path to awakening.
