Come to our Retreat Breath of Earth, Breath of Life!

Tree of life The practice of mindfulness helps us develop our capacity to dwell happily in the present moment and to find peace within ourselves.  This practice helps us weave mindfulness into all of life’s daily activities.  During this retreat we direct our practice to our Mother, the Earth.  She has suffered gravely from our lack of mindfulness.  Together we will look deeply into how we inter-are with the Earth, that we live and die with her and water the seeds that give rise to a new relationship with all beings, people, animals, plants and minerals.

Please register now for Breath of Earth, Breath of Life!  We will gather the weekend of October 3 – 5 at the beautiful and serene Marillac Center Walking feet in Leavenworth, Kansas, just outside of Kansas City.  Prepare to be moved to a deeper practice of mindfulness by the laser-like precision, solidity and humor of Brother Chan Huy, True Radiance. We will enjoy a variety of mindfulness practices including sitting meditation, walking meditation and deep relaxation.  Br. Chan Huy will talk each day and will transmit the Five Mindfulness Trainings.  Periods of gentle silence will nourish our mindfulness.  Group discussions will help us connect the teachings to our daily lives.  This retreat is ideal for newcomers as well as longtime practitioners. 

Bell of Mindfulness Please register now for Breath of Earth, Breath of Life!  We look forward to this time of joyful practice together.
