finding your still point:
a one-day retreat
Sunday, November 18
9 am - 4 pm
3824 Grand avenue, Oakland
In this one-day meditation retreat, we will explore ways to settle our stressed and overstimulated minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits. We will begin the day with instructions on meditation practices for settling the mind and touching into the stillness that always resides within.
We will spend time in sitting and walking meditation, savoring silence and breath together. We will also explore stillness within movement with somatic and movement-based practices. There will be a dharma talk on Cultivating Your Still Point, plus a chance for conversation with the group.
A simple lunch will be served. You may sit in a chair or in a cushion. This retreat is great for newbies and experienced meditators alike. Join us!
