In this Half-Day of Mindfulness, we will gather in community in order to deeply nourish ourselves in this moment of uncertainty and fear in our world. The program will include group music-making, deep slow yoga forms, a Dharma Talk, Sitting and Walking Meditation, Mindful Sharing, and other playful somatic expression. Come and nourish your joy and sacredness as precious human beings negotiating multiple worlds, languages, systems and uncertainties. All levels of practice and self-identifications as POC (including mixed race) are welcome. Sliding scale registration $40 - $60. Limit 20 people. UPDATE: Kaira will now not be able to be present physically due to a glitch in our schedules. We will watch a recording of her Dharma Talk and she will join us via Skype for Q &A if there are no delays in her flight schedule that day. Please stay connected and engaged in your local community friends! We need to gather and heal.
Urban Sanctuary, 2745 Welton St, Denver, CO
