This week for our regular Tuesday online meditation session we'll be joining in with the 2015 International Urban Retreat with an exploration of the third and fourth Brahma Viharas: Mudita (Sympathetic Joy) and Upekkha (Equanimity).
These will be a short and simple introduction to, and meditation on, these "divine abodes". All are welcome - from beginners to experienced meditators - and it's a great chance to meditate online with others during this special week.
To join the meditation, just visit this link at 2:30pm ET / 7:30pm UK:
