At Cloud Mountain Retreat Center, this seven-day retreat with Tina offers a comprehensive immersion in the Heart Practices of meditation. The focus is on the Bramaviharas, known in Theravadan and Tibetan Buddhist traditions as the heart’s divine abodes: metta, karuna, mudita, and upekkha. Presented as a unified curriculum rather than as separate techniques, these trainings offer a clear way to relate to the human condition and to meet whatever arises with an open, unhindered heart. The program also includes a forgiveness practice that Tina regards as a fifth Bramavihara, a gratitude practice, and guidance on Divine Love, described as a nondual facet of our deeper nature toward which these methods point. Emphasis is placed on the depth and rigor of these approaches, on par with Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Self-Transcending work. Framed as practices that purify the heart, they engage consciousness in a unique way, helping to process universal personality material that can impede spiritual growth, and they offer steadiness in challenging times for individuals and communities.
