The word mindfulness is used in many ways in modern society, but understanding how it really works to protect our mind from negativity and pain is wisdom; and this wisdom is very rare. In this short retreat we will gently explore how our untrained mind is like a “wild elephant” that causes lots of damage. However, if we learn how to control our mind using the rope of mindfulness our fears and anxiety will be reduced and eventually cease altogether. 
 

Please join us for this silent retreat where we can begin to enjoy protecting our mind through training our mind. 
 

Everyone is welcome, no meditation experience is necessary.
