Awakening the Heart: A Day of Loving-Kindness Practice with Deborah Helzer
In times of conflict or pain, a clear mind and an open heart can be our greatest allies. This day of practice offers the opportunity to sit and walk in silence, in a supportive community, and give full attention to our deeper feelings.
Periods of silent, independent practice will be interspersed with guided meditations on different aspects of the heart-opening quality of unconditional friendliness (metta).
Optional Q & A sessions will be offered in the morning and afternoon for those new to the practice or wanting additional guidance.
You are still welcome even if you can only make it for a portion of the day. However, to maintain a solid container for the practice, we ask folks to commit to at least the full morning (10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) or full afternoon (2-5:30 p.m.) period.
This daylong (or half day) will be held on Saturday, April 1, 10am-5:30pm. Because of the instruction, the suggested donation for this program is $30-60.

Breathing Body: The Doorway to the Mind
Join Bhante Y. Rahula on Thursday April 27, at 7-8:30 pm for nature's way to help reconnect the mind to its natural home, the present moment breathing body.
Sense stimulations trigger thoughts, emotions and reactions from deep within the mind/nervous system, yet our attention is focused mostly outside, or preoccupied internally with the past and future. Cultivating a mindful connection to the breathing body provides a closer access to notice and let go of unnecessary draining mental activity before getting lost and carried away.
The session will begin with a light guided meditation, then the dharma talk and afterwards brief time for Q and A.

The suggested donation for this event is $10-15.
