Heartfelt Awareness. A Dharma Talk

This is a talk designed to both inspire and to inform listeners of an upcoming online meditation program.In this program we will be taking a very deep dive into mindfulness, not only as a meditation practice, but also as a way of life. Participants will be invited to take a deep dive into the practice of mindfulness. Not only will we be drawing on meditation practices from numerous traditions worldwide, but we will also be exploring techniques which will allow us a fearless embrace of the present moment while not meditating....in other words...a fearless embrace of life itself. Why Mindfulness? Well..mindfulness has been shown to help with pain management and relief, stress reduction, it helps with emotional intelligence and regulation, it has shown to boost our happiness index, and most of all, mindfulness can strengthen our present moment awareness, so we can be present and connected to our experience of life. The retreat will open on July 26th and close on Sept 20th, 2022.
