“The quieter you become the more you are able to hear”. – Rumi
In this chaotic world filled with personal and professional commitments, it’s important to find time just for you.
A day of mindful silence can be a powerful and restorative experience, whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned practitioner. In that spirit, we would love to have you join us for a day of savoring each moment and building balance into your life.
Before the day begins, we will send you instructions for creating a sanctuary in your home. During the day, we will slowly guide you through practices that will expand your ability to settle and soften. If you are new to mindfulness, you will be given options to ease in and out. If you already have an established meditation practice, this will be a day of deepening.
Invest time in yourself and explore ways to renew, refresh, and rejoice in life.
-Renew your spirit and shift your perspective with mindfulness meditation.
-Experience gentle movement practices that deepen your breath and reduce your stress.
-Practice walking and eating mindfully.
-Deepen your compassion with Loving-Kindness Meditation.
How to prepare:
-Wear loose comfortable clothing.
-Have a water bottle and snacks available.
-Arrange to keep technology to a minimum.
-Have blankets, cushions, and mats available for comfort.
-There will be a 60-Minute lunch and two 15-Minute Breaks as part of the day.
-Suspend judgment and meet the day with curiosity.
