December Full-Day Retreat with Chris Crotty — Becoming a Metta Person: Loving-Kindness Meditation Retreat (12/7/2024) (In Person Only)
In personAt the monasteries in Burma (Myanmar) one sometimes hears about a metta-person, a person whose unique and highly developed metta, loving-kindness, radiates undeniably. In that culture a metta-person is held in high regard, talked about with great affection, admired, and is a living example of the powers of metta meditation and of goodwill more broadly.
In this day-long retreat we will practice metta meditation (loving-kindness meditation) as outlined in the Visuddhimagga: The Path of Purification, through sitting and walking meditation, supported by dhamma reflections that emphasize the qualities and characteristics of a well established “metta-mind”.
This retreat is open to beginners and experienced meditators; everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. This retreat will offer sitting meditation and the option to practice walking meditation outdoors in the quiet tree-bordered property at CfMIM. Retreat is held mostly in silence complemented by teacher instruction and Question and Answer periods. Tea, coffee, and light snacks will be offered.

Covid Policy
While we are doing our best to follow expert guidelines for making the environment as safe as possible, the spread of the virus is ultimately beyond our control, so you should make your own determination as to whether it is appropriate for you to come.
Advance Registration is Required
Because social distancing means limiting the number of people in the meditation hall at one time, you must sign up in advance to attend. You may register weeks in advance or right before a class, but you won’t be able to register if we’ve already reached our maximum.
Face Coverings
Facemasks are not required but are recommended when social distancing is not possible. Please follow the Centers for Disease Control and Massachusetts state guidelines.
Maintain Social Distancing
Attendees are asked to mindfully maintain their distance from one another while on the property.
