Explore your relationship with your body, mind and heart. Join us on a silent, guided full-day retreat to immerse yourself in mindfulness meditation and the wisdom of silence. The practice of retreat allows you to step away from your usual routines and connect with your deepest self. This is an opportunity to deepen or renew your meditation practice. Participants will be asked to observe silence at all times except at the end of the retreat when we talk about our experience of the day. You will be guided through various meditation exercises, including sitting and walking meditations, mindfulness movements, and compassion meditations. Experience with meditation is recommended but not required. Further instructions will be emailed prior to the retreat. Bring a bagged lunch (a refrigerator is available). Suggested donation: $10-20, to benefit the Senior Center, pay what you can/want.
