Taste of Love and Compassion

- Mind expanding, embracing and joyful.
- Free of conditions and unhindered.
- An experience that unifies.
- An outpouring first within your self and then to others.

This day course aims to get a taste of genuine love and compassion initially for oneself and then extending that to others. This will be achieved through meditation supported through discussion, presentation and group work.
