September Meditation Retreat

About this event

**What to Expect** Half-day meditation retreats provide an immersive opportunity to practice in a community setting. The retreat will be organized around a gentle rhythm of sitting and walking meditation. ​During an in-person retreat participants will have a chance to: * ​Take a break from daily stressors, allowing for a reset of the nervous system. * ​Sit in silence to accelerate mental and emotional healing. * ​Rewire habitual thinking patterns and have an experience of open awareness. * ​Practice in a traditional way in a modern community setting. ​By removing external distractions, participants lower cortisol, increase emotional resilience, and build lasting mindfulness skills that improve well-being for weeks afterward. ​ **Equipment** Zaputon and zafu cushions are provided. Chairs are also available. Feel free to bring anything else you might need to feel comfortable (a water bottle, blanket, your own cushion, etc.). **Schedule** 10:00 am: Arrive 12:00pm: Lunch 4:00 pm: Close ​ **Meals** ​A light, vegetarian lunch will be served. ​**Community Supported** ​This gathering is community-supported rather than fee-based. Everyone is welcome regardless of financial circumstances. If you are able to contribute we suggest a donation of $20, which helps us to support the space, the host, and future gatherings. ​
