Description
Dedicating time to mindfulness practice supports deepening and widening awareness in every moment of our lives. This nourishing and reflective evening will welcome you to fully embody awareness. In the guided meditation a strong emphasis will be placed on noticing the simple experiences of embodiment, like adjusting the posture and seeing the environment around you. The dharma talk will provide context and offer inspiration for bringing fuller attention to the body both in daily life and when sitting.
