Half-Day Mindfulness Workshop
(Online via Zoom)

Saturday, November 9, 2024

9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Eastern Time


In this mindfulness workshop, we will come together as a community to enjoy the nourishing silence, and practice sitting, walking, and eating mindfully. We will also learn the art of deep relaxation, mindful movement and Qigong. We will be reminded to stay in touch with all the wonders of life in us and around us, such as a healthy beating heart, beautiful sunshine, and lovely birds singing. The community's collective energy of mindfulness will also help us to embrace our thoughts and feelings as they arise so that we can continue to feel solid and calm. A reflection on the art of mindful living in our daily life will be shared in the Dharma talk.
