with Beth Sanchez, Viviane Ephraimson-Abt and Peggy Rowe-Ward
As the refreshing spring breeze arrives, let’s invite in the creative and rejuvenating energy of this new season. Join us for this half-day of mindfulness where we will explore the mind of love and compassion as a garden of Bodhicitta.
At its core, bodhichitta is awakening to life in order to help others awaken to life. It is both a practice and a result. It is our intention of goodness.
What seeds are there, in your mind of love, and how do you grow them? Together we will enjoy mindful sitting, a dharma talk, gentle yoga, and creative practice as we nourish ourselves and each other.
Donation based, online (Zoom), 10am - 1:00pm MST
