In this high demand culture, with constant connection to information and technology, many people find themselves overwhelmed, depleted and disconnected from themselves and eachother. Add to that, a global pandemic, continued systemic social and racial injustice, environmental devastation, and myriad other worldly challenges and we may find ourselves caught in reactivity, negativity, and unable to see beyond our circumstances. Silence, stillness and an opportunity to direct our attention inward can be hard to come by, but is absolutely essential to tap into our deepest intention, our own wisdom, and to see our ultimate wellbeing; mind, body, heart, to be deeply interdependent on the wellbeing of ALL beings, everywhere. Gifting ourselves with a day of respite from the rush of everyday life, is not just a gift to ourselves, but to the world that is so in need of care, peace and kindness.

Led by Lauri Glenn, Mindful Yoga & Meditation Coach/Trainer, this daylong course will focus on calming and steadying the mind and body as well as connecting to our hearts true nature of kind presence. Through Mindfulness teachings and practices, we can learn to live with more awareness, ease and understanding, regardless of the particular conditions of our lives.
____________________________________
Our day will begin with a brief opportunity to mingle and meet your co-retreatants, followed by instruction on how a silent daylong event works. We will then move into the silent portion of our day, (with the exception of your facilitators verbal guidance and opportunity for Q&A). Lauri will be offering instruction in walking and seated meditation as well as yoga-based mindful movement. Simple teachings from the Mindfulness Meditation/Vipassana tradition will be woven throughout the day.
