SUMMARY:Step into Your Life: A 1-day Meditation and Mindfulness Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“The practice I speak of is not meditation. It is simply the dharma gate of repose and bliss…It is the manifestation of ultimate reality…Once its heart is grasped\, you are like a dragon when he gains the water\, like a tiger when she enters the mountains.”\n–Dogen \nIn our world of busyness\, of more/faster/better\, this one-day retreat offers time to stop\, reflect\, and renew. We will explore the practices of effort and effortless as a path to well-being and “stepping into your life.” \nTogether we’ll follow a gentle schedule of sitting and walking meditation\, a talk\, and some discussion. No prior meditation experience is necessary; this retreat is also for those looking to renew or deepen an existing meditation and mindfulness practice. \nA vegetarian lunch will be served. \nTickets: \n$100: General Admission\n$80: Mill Valley Zen Members\n$50: Limited Income (young adults (18-26)\, elders (65+) with limited/fixed incomes\, unemployed\, disabled) \n* Scroll down to purchase.
