Day of Mindfulness In the Heart of Reedy Creek Park

We welcome you to come experience our weekly Day of Mindfulness. Nestled next to nearly 1,000 acres of blooming wilderness, right in the heart of Charlotte, we will find ourselves together in the present moment. Come recharge, reconnect with yourself and others while basking in the Spring glow of the forest. We will sit, walk, breathe and share the beauty of the budding Reedy Creek Park. Also, although this meditation group (Sangha in Sanskrit) is based in the teachings of Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Master Thich Nhat Hanh of the Plum Village tradition, people of all faiths and those with no spiritual tradition are welcome. We offer this event in the spirit of Dana (generosity of the heart), and there is no expectation for a donation. However, as we do have rent and bills to pay, everyone is welcome to donate money, food for the potluck or just help with washing up or cleaning up so that we can continue to offer this as a place of refuge for the whole community. If you’d like to support the continuation of this space, you’re invited to register with a sliding scale contribution (*$15–$45*).
