Dear friends,
This summer, Annie will host three free online sessions for anyone from the Opening Heart Mindfulness Community to come together to learn and practice. Camille will co-lead two of the three sessions.
As we know, understanding is the very foundation of love. We will explore deeply a few of the teachings of Plum Village in order to deepen our understanding of the practice and of each other.
We practice to embody and grow our capacity for loving each other and the world and to expand our options for how to respond to challenging moments and to find more joy. And to have fun together!
We will gather for 90-minutes, which will include time to sit together, read a chosen passage together, do small group sharing and large group sharing and have time for Questions and Insights (Q&I).
ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME.
CONVERT TO YOUR TIME ZONE
