One-day Natural Meditation retreat on Saturday:
Coming In 2012
The Natural Meditation Community of East Central FL (Ormond Beach) will offer a One-day Natural Meditation retreats in 2012 from 9:30am to 5:30pm at the Unitarian building in room 1 at 56 North Halifax in Ormond Beach behind the Granada beach-side post office. We need a minimum of 12 so please let me know if you will be attending.
This is a great opportunity to see what it's like to experience a retreat environment. The retreat will be led by Michael Kane who facilitates The Natural Meditation Community of East Central FL. Michael has several years of meditation and retreat experience and devotes his time to share his experience and help others to open their hearts and minds and to be more fully alive.
The purpose of this retreat is to "stop", open more fully to the present moment and unconditioned awareness, a space in which we can see clearly what's happening without trying to change anything. It is also a wonderful opportunity for natural healing and release to unfold. The day will be filled with a mix of Natural meditation (effortless being), moving meditation and two periods of contemplative dialog. There will be a vegetarian pot luck lunch, so bring your favorite dish to share with the group, please bring your own drink. Cost of retreat will be $5 which covers the cost of the room and you may also offer Dana (donations) to the teacher if you wish. If you are interested in attending this event please reply back with your name and phone #, just in case we need to get a hold of you for any changes. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me.
With Metta
