A DAY OF MINDFULNESS RETREAT
Opening the Heart of Mindfulness
Saturday, March 3, 10:00 a.m - 3:30 p.m.
Offered by One Dharma Nashville and Led by Lisa Ernst
“Ultimately, I see mindfulness as a love affair--with life,
with reality and imagination, with the beauty of your own being,
with your heart and body and mind, and with the world. “
--Jon Kabat-Zinn
Please join us at the 12South Dharma Center for a day of sitting and walking meditation. This daylong retreat will focus on mindfulness meditation. We will train our minds in present time awareness by bringing attention to the breath and sensations in the body, finding refuge in moment to moment wakefulness. Through this practice we gradually understand the truth of the constantly changing nature of all things, and we learn to meet our lives with an open and compassionate heart.
Led by meditation teacher Lisa Ernst, the retreat is suitable for both beginning and experienced meditators; it will include sitting and walking meditation, practice instructions, optional private interview and a dharma talk. Please bring a sack lunch. Tea is available at the center and refreshments will be offered after the retreat. The center has plenty of mediation cushions, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. Chairs are also available.
Cost: $35, plus dana (donation) to the teacher. Reservation deadline is Monday, February 27. Contact onedharmaretreat@gmail.com to reserve your space or for questions. Please mail a deposit of $35, made out to One Dharma Nashville, to: 12South Dharma Center c/o One Dharma Nashville, 2301 12th Ave. South, Suite 202, Nashville, TN 37204. Be sure to include your email address; additional retreat information will be emailed to you prior to the retreat.
