In-person: Deepening Practice, Becoming Embodied with River Wolton

EVENT DESCRIPTION

In the midst of our lives, in the midst of multiple world challenges, how can embodiment – the first foundation of mindfulness – support and nourish us?

This daylong retreat will explore practices classically offered to establish mindfulness of body, including reflections on the four elements, and contemplation of impermanence.

Co-creating a welcoming, inclusive community, we will support each other to bring the teachings of the Buddhist tradition into the heart of our lives, connecting and re-connecting to aspirations for meeting stress and vulnerability with wisdom and compassion.

The day will be held primarily in companionable silence, with optional opportunities to share experience. Meditation sessions will be 30-40 minutes long, there will be guidance for sitting, walking, and lying down, but you are welcome to find postures that best honour your physical needs and energy levels. There will also be dharma reflections and discussion. All are welcome, including newcomers to meditation or mindfulness.
