SUMMARY:October Day of Mindfulness at The Abbey
DESCRIPTION:Dear ones: \nPlease note: we have gently revised our schedule for the day based on a heart-felt desire to begin our morning meditation quietly settled into the peaceful atmosphere of the Bethany House meditation space. With that\, we will end our check-in / orientation at 8:45 and enjoy a quiet cup of tea or coffee\, sitting in a circle of shared stillness together in the lower room. As always\, you are free to arrive or leave as you see fit. This day is meant to nourish you \nOnce again we gather in silence on the second Friday of the month at the Trappist Abbey in Carlton Oregon Please consider treating yourself to a day of deep stillness in community with the earth\, sky\, trees\, birds and each other as we come together in the spaciousness of silence—naturally encouraging seeds of compassion\, joy\, love\, and faith to strengthen within us. As we practice stopping\, calming and resting our bodies and minds within an atmosphere of peaceful silence at the Trappist Abbey in Carlton\, Oregon\, we nourish our ability to be present in the moment\, and cultivate our capacity to heal wounds within ourselves\, our families\, our communities\, and the world. Both new and experienced practitioners of any or no faith tradition are welcome! Please note that if you have accessibility issues\, you can contact me (Nisi) so we can discuss your needs and see what type of accommodation may be possible for you  \n \nOur silent days of mindfulness at the Abbey are regularly scheduled for the second Friday of every month\, and I will send out a reminder in advance.
