Plan for a restorative day of gentle movement, sitting and walking meditation, and grounding Dharma to provide a refuge from overwhelm and stress.
Join Trina Truong for a day of stopping and resting. Experience the nourishment of non-doing. Be held in a loving and gentle container. Be in the presence of Dharma friends practicing with you and the guidance of a teacher. Cultivate the energy of calm that listens and honors our need to take care of ourselves while practicing mindfulness and lovingkindness to our body, heart and mind.
Bring your own cushion and a yoga mat if you want to have the option to lie down. Bring a dish to share or pack your own lunch. We will practice mindful eating. If the weather is nice, there is the option to practice outside. Food can be stored in the cafeteria fridge or cooler.
(Option to extend retreat with Saturday Sangha from 4:30pm - 6:30pm)
