Re Treat (from the holidays)
January 11, 2015 @ 1:30 am - 7:30 am
Offer yourself a day of silence to relax, breathe and settle the contents of your mind.
Kathy Schwerin and Christy Tews will co-lead this mindfulness meditation day. They are long-time friends who co-founded Dharma Zephyr Insight Meditation Community. Kathy is a mostly-retired psychotherapist who blogs at AMindfulBreath.com. Christy spends free time gardening, cooking, traveling, and embroidering with her miracle machine. For bios see DharmaZephyr. Angela Sullivan of Sun Mountain Yoga will assist.
We’ll begin with gentle movement guided by Angela, who will then join Kathy in working with meditation posture (whether in a chair or on the floor). Aligned posture and easeful breath allow us to relax into meditation with a minimum of bodily discomfort. Christy will emphasize methods to quiet the chattering mind. This allows us to have a fuller experience of our lives in the present moment. The day will be in silence except for instructions, dharma talk, and a question and answer period with the teachers.
Prepare for comfort with layered clothing. Bring a sack lunch for a relaxed and silent meal and your cushion or bench if you wish to sit on the floor. Chairs are provided. Especially suited for new meditators. A great tune-up and quiet day for experienced meditators.
There is no charge for this event; your generosity provides a donation to Ascent for the space and scholarship funds for residential retreats.
