A Day of Mindfulness & Compassion - Daylong Retreat

#### Retreat for a Day of Mindfulness & Compassion

Come join Trina Truong for a day of stopping and resting in awareness. Experience the nourishment of silence. 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 mindfulness that listens and honors our need to take care of ourselves and practice compassion and lovingkindness to our body, heart and mind.

We will cultivate mindful awareness through meditation in the postures that are suitable for our specific needs and abilities. We will engage in mindful walking and mindful movement. We will practice mindful eating. If the weather is nice, there is the option to practice in the courtyard. Trina will provide 1:1 sessions for those who would like additional support and guidance. Bring your own cushion and a yoga mat if you want to have the option to lie down. Please pack your own lunch. If you stay for the afternoon Saturday Sangha talk at 4:30pm with Alpesh, please bring dinner also. Food can be stored in the cafeteria fridge or cooler. There’s still time to reserve your spot!
