August 24–27, 2023
Drala Mountain Center
Inspired by the teachings of Jon Kabat-Zinn, this 3-day retreat offers both an introduction and a deepening experience of mindfulness, for being more fully present to our lives. Various tools for engaging the demands of our lives and for supporting inquiry into fundamental health and wholeness will be drawn from MBSR — the most universal expression of mindfulness.
Through embodied practices of stillness and movement — including sitting meditation, mindful yoga, mindful eating, and awareness in nature — the ongoing practice of being present to life will be further supported by periods of silence.
