In times of stress, uncertainty, and change, mindfulness practice can offer something both simple and profound: a reliable place to return.
Resilience and Reliability of Practice is a day-long opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with the steadiness that can develop through sustained mindfulness practice. Through sitting meditation, mindful movement, walking meditation, reflection, and silence, we will explore how practice can help us meet life with greater awareness, flexibility, and resilience.
Resilience does not mean becoming unaffected by difficulty. It is our capacity to stay present, recover our balance, and keep meeting experience without becoming completely overwhelmed. A consistent meditation practice can become an important part of developing that capacity.
Throughout the day, we will also explore the reliability of practice: the possibility of cultivating an inner resource available not only when life feels calm, but especially when things become difficult. Rather than waiting for circumstances to settle before we can feel grounded, mindfulness teaches us to return to the body, the breath, and the immediacy of our experience.
The day will include guided mindfulness meditation, periods of silent practice, mindful movement, walking meditation, and opportunities for reflection and discussion. Participants will be encouraged to work with their own experience and physical abilities throughout the day.
This day-long event is appropriate for both newer and experienced meditators. No particular level of flexibility, fitness, or meditation experience is required.
Come prepared to slow down, listen more carefully, and spend a day strengthening the practices that can help us remain grounded, responsive, and connected to ourselves and our lives.
