Saturday July 13, 2024 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
in-person at IMC only
Offered by: Kim Allen
Breath meditation is a foundational practice that can be immediately accessible, and yet also unfold to deeper layers over many years. This daylong retreat is an opportunity to connect or re-connect with the simplicity and richness of the breath. Our day will include guided and silent meditations, dharma teachings, and walking meditation. Classical instructions and guidance on mindfulness of breathing will support the opportunity to strengthen mindfulness, develop concentration, practice with the IMC community, and ask a teacher questions. This daylong is appropriate for beginners and those with more experience. Registration is not required. Bring lunch.
The program is offered freely, with no registration needed. If you’d like to donate to the teacher or the center, you can visit IMC’s donation page here.
No registration is necessary.
