In this daylong retreat, there will be time to meditate, practice simple mindful movement, and share our stories.
Love and Joy, also known as Metta and Mudita in Pali and Sanskrit are both beautiful and satisfying practices that have been given to us by the Buddha in the Sacred Abodes.
This daylong is designed for those in the healing arts and caregiving professions... we will focus on meditation practices and interactive exercises to support healers in their own healing.
This daylong will offer educators not only practical techniques for teaching mindfulness, but also instruction for teachers, administrators, child care providers, family therapists, and parents who want to cultivate their own mindfulness practice for greater stress relief, presence, and emotional balance.
Our culture is rife with problematic messages around body image and food. Our experiences of our bodies and nourishing them can become confused and disconnected from authentic self-love.
