SUMMARY:Mindfulness & Wisdom: A Daylong Insight Meditation Retreat with Donna Paige & Jill Davey
DESCRIPTION:As we transition from Winter to Spring\, join us for a day of silence and witness the benefits of settling into the body and quieting the mind.  Mindfulness fosters a calm steadiness and present moment awareness.  Wisdom is cultivated through meditative and experiential inquiry.  Insight Meditation brings the integration of Mindfulness and Wisdom into our formal practice and daily lives\, creating a refuge for finding the ground as we navigate and welcome change.  Your daylong practice will be supported with instructions\, guided and silent meditation\, alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation\, dharma talks and mindful eating. Curious about what it would be like to spend a contemplative day in silence with others?  New students are invited and encouraged to attend\, as well as those with meditation experience. Sunday\, April 3 10:00am-4:30pm $55 + HST registration required by March 18. A gluten-free vegetarian lunch will be provided by B.Love In the Buddhist tradition of generosity\, the teachers will be accepting ‘dana’ or donations at the end of the retreat to support the continuation of the teachings. Donna Paige has been engaged in Buddhist inquiry and practice for nearly 20 years.  She completed a 5-year Mentorship Program with Norman Feldman and Molly Swan in 2014 and has been influenced by teachers at Spirit Rock Meditation Centre in California\, Insight Meditation Society and Barre Centre for Buddhist Studies in Massachusetts.  Recently retired from a career as a Couple and Family Therapist\, Donna has been teaching Mindfulness and Insight Meditation classes at various venues in the Hamilton area since 2007.
