Mindfulness Mini Retreat / Beach Hike / Dinner / Sunset

When I'm not hiking, I lead mindfulness groups. Once a month, I facilitate a daylong retreat.

Here's the plan for April:

9:45-10:00 Sign in, tea, and mingling
10:00 – 11:00 Introduction to or reminder about mindfulness. Practice, practice, practice.
11:00 – 12:00 Physically mindful (standing, walking, paying attention to body with kindness, etc.)
12:00 – 12:30 Lunch Break - Bring your own lunch
12:30 - 1:30 Living with uncertainty
1:30 - 2:30 Awareness, Attention, Equanimity

We have access to a kitchen with refrigerator and microwave oven for your lunch.

I am without internet, email, or phone contact from April 2-April 10. I will respond to all comments and messages before before April 2 and on/after April 11. :-)

For beginners as well as experienced mindfulness practitioners. Don't know what mindfulness is? No worries. That's part of the retreat. But here's an article if you want to read a little about it:
