Dear friends,

I'm just back from teaching a metta retreat at the Insight Meditation Society—a week of slowing down, tending to the heart, and practicing lovingkindness together in community. I came home full.

As a small offering from that time, I want to share two things with you:

• A Dharma Talk on Joy
• A Guided Meditation on Lovingkindness

You can listen to them here. May they be of benefit.

I also wanted to let you know that tonight we begin a new 10–12 week series at Clear Dharma Sangha on the Brahmaviharas: the four profound heart qualities of lovingkindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity.

If you've been curious about joining CDS, this is a beautiful moment to drop in. You're warmly welcome—tonight or any week along the way.

Learn more and join here: orenjaysofer.com/cds

Warmly,

Oren
