Bringing Mindfulness to Life
“In deep self-acceptance grows a compassionate understanding…”
This Saturday, Jack Kornfield will lead a workshop in Washington, DC, and on September 29 Jon Kabat-Zinn and US Congressman Timothy Ryan will be part of a free interdisciplinary symposium in Baltimore. Join us to learn, laugh, practice and be inspired!
I can’t think of a better way to spend a drizzly Saturday morning in early spring than to gather with like-minded friends with open hearts and curious minds to learn about and practice mindfulness .… The brilliant meditation teacher Rachel Naomi Remen wrote, “Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.”
By bringing an open awareness, curious attention and non-judgmental intention, we can witness some of the ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows that make up our lives. With practice we can bring greater equanimity to this passing parade of thoughts, feelings, memories, plans, worries and joys. This helps us live more fully, and remain balanced in the face of life’s challenges.
