In this retreat we will learn how to effectively distinguish between love and attachment, cultivate the first and reduce the second, and in doing so, discover for ourselves that there is no more powerful method for solving our problems and improving our relationships with others.

The meditations practised on this retreat will help to develop a greater peace of mind and happiness, and to improve our relationships with others through learning to cherish others.
