high-definition creative commons posters depicting Thoughts and Meditation from the Gentle Way together with further information.

The retreat emphasizes the practice of Metta. After days of quiet observation, participants turn their attention to cultivating goodwill. Starting with themselves, they extend thoughts of peace to friends, strangers, and even enemies. This practice softens the ego and builds a sense of interconnectedness, ensuring that the wisdom gained is balanced with compassion for all living beings.
