Program Details

Cultivate your natural capacity for faith, compassion, and love with leading spiritual guides Krishna Das and Sharon Salzberg. Combining the complementary practices of devotional chanting and loving-kindness meditation, we come together to discover and celebrate the power of the heart. Through teachings, stories, chants, guided meditations, and question-and-answer sessions, we are led within to find our own inner knowledge and to open to deeper levels of courage and wisdom.

In 1970 Krishna Das traveled to India, where he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji). Through Maharaj-ji, he was introduced to the practice of kirtan (devotional chanting), an ancient method of heart purification. Since that time, he has become a powerful force for integrating bhakti, the yoga of devotion, into contemporary Western society.

A student of Buddhism since 1971, Sharon is one of the most influential meditation teachers in the West. She has been leading retreats worldwide in vipassana meditation and loving-kindness and compassion (the Brahma Viharas) for more than 30 years. Author of Lovingkindness, Faith, and A Heart as Wide as the World, she is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.
