Invites you to a “Day of Mindfulness”
The event is hosted and coordinated by our group members and is free (although you will have an opportunity to leave a small gift of a dollar or two to share in the facility rental, if you like).
Our practice for the Day of Mindfulness will include: sitting meditation (no more than 30 minutes per sitting), walking meditation, mindful eating, singing, a guided (total relaxation) meditation, a recorded Dharma talk (on CD) by Thich Nhat Hanh, a brief presentation and a small amount of discussion although most of the day’s practice will be in silence.
*BRING* your own lunch, a cup (tea will be supplied), a meditation cushion and blanket or mat (the floor is tiled so you will want something underneath your cushion) and warm clothing for outside walking meditation.
DATE: Sunday, May 11, 2008 TIME: 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Out of respect for the practice, and other practitioners please arrive so as to be ready to begin at 10:00 a.m.
