    Saturday, Oct 18, 9 am - 5 pm (CT)
    With Rev. Flying Fish Barbara Murphy

    Please join us for an online Day of Mindfulness. This day offers support for our practice as we bring our wholehearted attention into our daily life at home. Mindfulness is one of the perfections of the bodhisattvas which brings loving presence and understanding into our lived moments.
    The day will include guidance, support and accountability online throughout the day. You will enjoy practicing in the intimacy of your own home while getting support around your resistance to freedom of mind.

    By donation. Please note that a donation of at least $1 is required to register online. Please contact us if this creates a barrier: info@cloudsinwater.org.

    No one is turned away for lack of funds.
    Online registration ends 10/15.
