DESCRIPTION:Music and Dharma:  The Brahma Viharas (2-day non-residential meditation 
 retreat) with Eve Decker\n\nEnjoy traditional Buddhist sitting and walking 
 practices, interspersed with short dharma talks, poetry, music, and 
 chanting.  We will be soothing and inspiring our hearts with teachings on 
 the Brahma Viharas, the 'Divine Abodes' of Lovingkindness, Compassion, 
 Appreciative Joy, and Equanimity.  This is an opportunity to delve deeply 
 into these beautiful qualities , and replenish ourselves with meditation 
 and music.  Saturday's teachings will be on Metta (Lovingkindness) & Karuna 
 (Compassion); Sunday's teachings will be on Mudita (Appreciative Joy) & 
 Uppekha (Equanimity).\n\nNo experience required.\n\nEve Decker is a
