Back in June, at the beginning of the summer, IDP decided to offer a weekly Metta/Lovingkindness Meditation practice, on Fridays from 6-7pm. When planning the offering, I wondered if anyone would attend - sometimes it's quiet during the summer, especially on weekends. Also, new offerings at IDP take time to grow and for people to learn about them, so the first few dates can start off with just a few students. Other times, the scheduling is inconvenient or the topic just doesn't appeal to our community, and the event is cancelled due to lack of interest.
