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 supported by the facilitator in mindfulness meditation, mindful walking, mindful movement, and mindful eating exercises. Compassion exercises will be woven in throughout the day to foster empathy and loving kindness for oneself and others.

A day of practice allows you to step away from your usual routines and to connect with your innermost self, supported by the ancient wisdom of silence. This is an opportunity to deepen or renew your mindfulness meditation practice. 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. You will be asked to disconnect from the digital world which creates space to reflect and listen to what has been buried beneath digital and mental clutter.
Previous experience with mindfulness meditation is recommended. Additional directions will be sent by email before the retreat. Suggested $15-$25 donation for the Senior Center.
Retreat facilitator is Christine Allen who has an extensive background teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. People of all ages are welcome. You do not have to be a Senior Center member to attend. If you have questions regarding the retreat, please contact Christine at callenivy@gmail.com.
