A Day of Mindfulness: How to care about things without identifying or clinging

Mindfulness practice, along with kindness, compassion, apathetic joy and equanimity, over time take the suffering (which is always optional) out of the pain, that comes standard with life, so we are then able to experience the richness of life with all its pleasant and unpleasant, and not turn away or wish it other than it is in this moment.
Recognizing the intensity of the drama in life and taking it lightly allows us to experience life as a game of chess rather than a football game. Life is not an emergency, it only seems that way.

This retreat will show us how to take the time to be mindful and peaceful in the midst of the chaos.

Maureen will use music and song to punctuate principles being shared.
