When we gather together for a Day of Mindfulness we have the opportunity to deepen our practice with the Sangha. Away from our usual distractions, we can follow our breath, smile, walk and eat in mindfulness, surrounded by good spiritual friends in the practice.
Most Days of Mindfulness include periods of sitting and walking and a sutra service in the morning followed by a formal meal, deep relaxation, and a focused exploration of some element of practice. There will be Dharma discussion. Please bring a bag lunch! Tea will be provided.
Days of Mindfulness will be posted on the right hand side bar of every page in this website. At the top this sidebar you have the opportunity to Subscribe via Email to our Blog Posts which will inform you of each Day of Mindfulness.
