We’ve often pondered how we could better bring the deep mindfulness of a retreat experience more fully into our daily lives. Here’s a wonderful opportunity for a retreat without walls; a week long practice intensive to start off the new year.
This week will involve a commitment to start each morning with group practice, focus on mindfulness and other practices during the day, check in daily with a partner, sitting on your own in the evening. The intensive kicks off Sunday, Jan 6 at 6PM with sitting and an overview for the week.
Each person will make a commitment to come and sit together every morning from 6:30 to 7:30 AM.
The morning sitting will be followed by short daily instructions relating to a mindfulness focus during the day. There will be a daily phone check in for each participant, and we will each make a commitment to sit again on our own in the evening. The last meeting, Saturday morning, will end with sharing our experiences.
Our orientation will be to more fully bring our practice into our daily lives. We’re looking to cultivate a retreat-like atmosphere during the week, “retreating” without leaving our jobs or routines. Questions to louweir@comcast.net
