In the Pali language, metta means loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill. Radiating metta is thought to contribute to world peace and mutual understanding. Some people believe that practicing metta helps relieve anger, confusion, and insomnia. In this workshop, we will practice an ancient metta meditation, yoga, and breath awareness to help us open in body, mind, and spirit.


Sharon Gutterman, Ph.D. participated in MBSR professional training under the direction of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. and Saki Santorelli, Ed.D. Her intention is to stay on the path of practice and teaching. She says that when she hears her grandchildren singing, “Every little cell in my body is happy”, she knows she is on the right path.

Sharon has been teaching stress management and the importance of wellbeing to physicians and allied health professionals for over ten years. Her mantra: “The quality of care you give to others is related to the quality of care you give yourself.”
