Mindfulness Retreat Oct. 27-29, 2006--Wichita, KS

The Sunflower Sangha of Wichita, Kansas is hosting a Mindfulness Retreat Peace is Every Step in the Tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh Oct. 27-29, 2006 at the Spiritual Life Center--7100 E. 45th St. North in Wichita. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who has written over 100 books and has established monasteries and practice centers in France and the United States. We are very pleased that ordained dharma teacher Chan Huy, True Radiance, from Ottawa, Canada will be providing the dharma talks. We are offering this retreat to deepen the practice of mindfulness and to further develop our compassion for others, for our precious earth, and for ourselves. It will be an opportunity to practice bringing peace to ourselves and to those around us through meditation practice and other ways to calm ourselves and bring joy to our bodies and minds. Vegetarian meals and comfortable lodging will be provided in the peaceful atmosphere of the Spiritual Life Center. Cost per person for a 2-person room will be $135. Check-in will be Friday anytime after 4PM and the retreat will conclude Sunday after lunch. Please reserve this weekend on your calendar for an opportunity to practice mindfulness (non-judgmental awareness of what is happening in the here and now) and the opportunity to share peace, compassion, and joy with others.
