Metta Programs offers teachings to support a life that is balanced, wakeful and compassionate. Its central offering is Insight Dialogue, an innovative, structured meditation practice based on a relational understanding of early Buddhist teachings.
Metta Programs offerings are available worldwide through retreats, online programs and via practice communities that are facilitated by teachers trained in relational Dhamma and Insight Dialogue.
In addition to providing information, this website is a place to practice. Here you will encounter useful teachings that you can explore with teachers and facilitators in a community setting. Real time experience and instruction is only an email away.
Metta means loving kindness. In metta the heart opens unconditionally, encompassing all that is, with acceptance, awareness and good will. The word 'metta' is from the Pali language of the earliest Buddhist texts. Metta is universal, finding expression in all religions and all societies.
