Retreat to the Hills for a Day of Mindfulness

Sunday May 18 & Saturday June 28, 9 am - 4 pm
with Jampa Gendun

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment and without evaluation. When we commit ourselves to paying attention in such a way we have a chance to free ourselves from our normally unconscious compulsive ways of thinking and behaving, and with that the opportunity to make better choices in our daily lives.

“Day of Mindfulness” is an opportunity to deepen our meditation practice through sessions of mindfulness alternating between sitting and walking, supplemented with meditations on loving-kindness, valuing, and forgiveness and ending with a group discussion. The day's emphasis is on practice in the supporting atmosphere of the group. Noble silence is observed throughout the day.

“Day of Mindfulness” is held one day every month. Everyone is welcome but should have at least previously attended “Learn to Meditate” classes or some equivalent.

Facility fee: $50 waged, $45 concession, $40 members
Venue: Aquarius Healing & Education Centre, 154 Mt Barker Rd, Stirling
