Hi all, next week as part of the marvellous Urban Retreat on the theme of Metta (Loving Kindness) we'll be having two online meditations focussing on that practice. The sessions will be on Tuesday 12th and Thursday 14th, and will last for one hour, with a 40-minute sit and 20 minutes or so at the end for discussion/questions.

The meditations will start sharply at 11am EST/ 4pm UK / 5pm Europe / 9.30pm Mumbai but we'll be online 15 minutes before so you can arrive and say hi. Our apologies to those in the southern hemisphere who will hopefully be sleeping soundly when these meditations are happening - we'll be bearing you in mind!

Take part on Skype by connecting with user thebuddhistcentre.com or by Google Hangout over on Google +.

Please be aware that you need a good broadband connection to handle group video/audio, and that while you will still be able to listen in, if you're using mobile devices (like smartphone/tablets) then group video won't work. Much of the session will be audio only anyway!

Remember, the Urban Retreat starts Saturday! Get some great resources for your practice of loving kindness...

Hope to see you online!
