A day of mindfulness; A gift for all seasons
December 8th 2018

During this busy season, what could be more important than to bring our entire selves- undistracted, to events and gatherings? We- our compasssionate presence may matter more than any material gift.

In these busy times it is easy to lose sight of what is most meaningful in our lives sometimes taking for granted so much of this precious life. The practice of Mindfulness Meditation, mindful Yoga, mindful walking and mindful eating, in a mostly silent day long format, with the support of community and experienced teachers, allows us to cultivate our true and natural compassionate presence. This presence then becomes a gift to all whose lives we touch. You are invited to join us for a day of practice, to clear our minds and open our hearts. This Day will be informed by the well researched work of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Dr. Chris Germer and Dr. Kristin Neff who’s research shows that these practices also have measurable effects on our mental and physical well- being.
Cost: $45.00 + donation for the teacher and facility.
Bring: Lunch, water, yoga mat, meditation cushion or bench if you have one (chairs are provided).
