Dear friends,
After Winter’s introspection, rest and reflection, spring invites us to renew our connections with each other and the natural world, meeting the beauty and the horrors of this moment with our full presence.
This daylong retreat will include guided and silent meditations based in the Buddhist tradition, including walking, eating and loving-kindness practices.
Activities are open to all practitioners, with guidance given for new practitioners as well as space for experienced practitioners. All are welcome.
When: Saturday, April 4, 10-4 pm (registration begins at 9:30am)
Where: 60 Lowther Ave, Toronto Quaker House (Friends House)
Facilitators: Michelle Nicholls, Rose Mina Munjee and Melina Bondy
The registration fee covers use of the space and administration fees only.
Donations will be received (cash and etransfer) during the retreat in the spirit of dana, generosity.
