[BLS-News] Broward Lotus Sangha Day of Mindfulness and Chanting Workshop Saturday, June 21, 2008 10:00 A.M.

[Dr. Martha Martinez]

>From time to time, we can set aside some time for a retreat or a day of mindfulness so we can sit, walk slowly, smile, eat lunch with friends and enjoy being together as though we are the happiest people on Earth. 
This is not just a retreat, it is a treat.”
--Thich Nhat Hanh 
 
The Broward Lotus Sangha

In the Tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh
Saturday, June 21, 2008

>From 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
 
 
This Plum Village-style Day of Mindfulness (DOM) and Chanting Workshop will provide a wonderful opportunity for those who want to deepen their mindfulness practice with time for reflection and silence as well as a chance to learn how to chant in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.  In the morning, we will enjoy periods of sitting and walking meditation, as well as chanting from Thây Nhat Hanh’s Chanting from the Heart. In the afternoon, we will enjoy Deep Relaxation and Mindful Sharing.  
 
This event is free an open to all practitioners. However, your generosity in providing a donation or Dana for the monastic and lay Sanghas is gratefully accepted and encouraged. Your kind donation to the Sangha or community of practitioners helps us defray the costs associated with this DOM and supports the activities of the Sangha. 
 
Please arrive early so you can relax and absorb the peaceful beauty of the natural surroundings and to help the Sangha set up for the day.  
 
Please respect and appreciate noble silence during the duration of the formal activities of the day. An opportunity for sharing and mindful conversation will be provided towards the end of the DOM.

·       Your favorite meditation seating arrangement (e.g., meditation cushion, blanket, mat, or back-jack). Chairs and limited number of other seating arrangements will be provided by the Sangha.
·       A healthy vegetarian dish to share with the Sangha at lunchtime.
·       Healthy snacks for afternoon tea. 
·       Non-alcoholic beverages such as water, juice and tea.
