Flowing with the Moment: A Day of Mindfulness Practice
With Amanda Votto
July 19, 2019
IDEAL FOR: All levels including beginners
Like a river, flow refers to following the current rather than pushing against it. To gracefully flow, we must learn how to let go of our resistance by bending with the curves, riding the waves, and resting in the stillness. Mindfulness leads us to the river, and it is through our practice that we learn how to navigate it.
With guided mindfulness practices and insightful discussion, we will explore how to flow with the present moment, what it means to release control, how to make friends with the unknown, and how to trust in the process of life. This day of practice will cultivate an inner space of “being” and it is from this space that we enter flow and open ourselves up to peace, ease, love, abundance, creativity and joy.
This day retreat will include a combination of mindful practices (seated meditation as well as gentle yoga), discussion, and reflection/journaling.
