Description
Join us for a day of mindfulness meditation activities. Explore your relationship with your body, mind, and heart. Participants will practice in silence while being led by the facilitator in mindfulness meditation, mindful walking, mindful movement, Yoga Nidra, and mindful eating exercises. Compassion exercises will be woven in throughout the day. A day of practice allows you to step away from your usual routines and connect with your innermost self, supported from the ancient wisdom of silence. This is an opportunity to deepen or renew your mindfulness meditation practice. Experience with mindfulness meditation is recommended but not required.
You will be asked to observe silence the entire time except for the end of the retreat when you will be invited to talk about your experience of the day. Additional directions will be sent by email before the retreat. Bring a sack lunch (a fridge is available). Suggested donation: $15 to benefit the Senior Center, pay what you can/wish.
Retreat facilitator is Christine Allen who has an extensive background teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. If you have questions regarding the retreat, please contact Christine callenivy@gmail.com.
