Embodied Insight: A Mindfulness Retreat
Join the WOW community and the Bucks Insight Meditation Group for a day of mindfulness in community.
During this retreat we will maintain a quiet environment, committing to a simple schedule of sitting and walking meditation, interspersed with periods of guided mindful movement, a shared mindful meal, and practice with deep listening to ourselves and one another.
Over several hours of seamless practice, momentum builds. The heart opens. Transformation happens. Renewal is possible.
This retreat showed me how to be okay with stopping, taking a break, taking a breath, and waiting. It helped me get unstuck in my life, and to love myself more. – Sarah F.
During the retreat we will
practice sitting and walking meditation;
explore mindfulness in motion with simple Qigong moves;
experience periods of “noble silence” as well as mindful speech and listening;
share a mindful meal together;
open our hearts in compassion and loving-kindness meditations;
give ourselves a break from the demands and duties of our lives.
Putting aside our responsibilities and social interactions for a period of time can be a powerful support for the deepening of insight and for opening into deeper states of calm and peace.
No prior experience necessary. All are welcome to participate. Half day option is available.
