Thank you for your interest in the Metta Foundation’s Whole Life Program. This is an integrated program of practice and study that is designed to aid dedicated students in bringing the Dhamma to all aspects of their lives. We’ve all had the experience of coming home from a meditation retreat uncertain about how to integrate newfound insights and wisdom into our lives. The Whole Life Program seeks to break down the barriers between retreat practice and everyday life; to provide an integrated experience of personal practice and interpersonal practice; and most importantly, to bring the whole of the Dhamma to an engaged life.
