The Karmê Chöling Meditation Retreat Center, in Barnet, Vermont, will present a spring workshop on The Power of Kindness. This new, introductory offering on the essence of kindness will take place over the weekend of April 15 to 17.

Retreat participants will explore and cultivate kindness through meditation, contemplation and sharing. They will also have a chance to tell stories, listen deeply to one another and reflect on what it means to be kind to ourselves, to others and our environments. Weather permitting, participants will also be able to explore the beauty of the natural environment at Karmê Chöling.

The retreat is open to all, and early registration at KarmeCholing.org/program/?id=5587 is recommended to ensure a place and preferred housing.

Cost: $340-$400. Location: Karmê Chöling Meditation Retreat Center, 369 Patneaude Ln., Barnet, VT. For more information, call 802-633-2384, or visit KarmeCholing.org.
