The Four Immeasurables Retreat: Cultivating Vast and Profound Connection

Cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity with Lama Tsomo in this retreat focused on the profound practices of the Four Immeasurables.

About This Retreat

In this immersive weekend retreat, Lama Tsomo will introduce participants to the Four Immeasurables—Loving Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity—timeless Buddhist practices for expanding the heart and deepening connection. Rooted in the Tibetan tradition yet presented for modern life, these teachings offer a way to dissolve isolation, cultivate clarity, and rediscover our innate capacity for genuine care. Through guided meditation, reflection, and accessible instruction, Lama Tsomo will illuminate how these boundless qualities support lasting happiness and the path to liberation for oneself and others

Grounded in wisdom and compassion, these practices are designed to integrate into everyday life, empowering individuals to recognize their interconnected nature, release ill will, and lead a more fulfilling existence.
