Event Description:

For this March NYC day retreat, the theme will be Life With Full Attention: Body, Feelings, Mind.

Our mindset and inner narratives can limit us. Using mindfulness as a tool, we can learn to work with noisy, chaotic thoughts in order to become more creative and energetic. We can become more able to face the challenges of life: managing stress, coping better with illness, and reducing anxiety and depression.

There can be even more when we put mindfulness back into its Buddhist context, so it becomes more authentic and effective. Life with Full Attention does just this; it guides us in practical ways, taking into consideration the pressures of modern life so we can move towards reality itself and open up to the possibility of the Enlightened Mind, here and now.

This day retreat complements the 8-week, Monday evening Life With Full Attention course,.

Taken together, you’ll get a thorough grounding in mindfulness practice as we move towards the limitless potential of our mind. For newcomers and those wanting to revisit the fundamentals of mindfulness practice or wanting to renew their inspiration.

Join us at New York Zendo Shobo-ji for a morning of reflective practice with a focus on mindfulness.

The morning will be followed by lunch and a cultural excursion to a museum or exhibition. Lunch will be at 1:15 pm at Le Botaniste UES, which serves 100% organic, plant-based food. It’s at 833 Lexington Avenue (between 63rd & 64th St).

This event is OPEN TO ALL—all are welcome.

Payment:

Suggested donation of $25-40.
