Wendy Johnson
Daylong Retreat
Tickets: $50 (portion of the fee will be donated to a local nonprofit)
Wendy Johnson leads a day of restorative mindfulness for the Earth, and for ourselves. We'll settle in to the body, simply breathing, and listen closely for what Thich Nhat Hanh calls "the cry of the Earth." Combining dharma talks with sitting and walking meditation as well as a potluck communal lunch, this day promises to be deeply nurturing and engaging. For beginners and seasoned practitioners. Co-sponsored by Point Reyes Books, Black Mountain Circle, and Elephant Mountain Sangha.
