Come Join Us 

Saturday, December 14th,9am-4:30pm

Robert and Frank will be co-leading this day-long retreat. We will use mindfulness meditation to quiet the mind and deepen our practice together.  The teachings, contemplations and sharing will focus on the practice of generosity. We will explore how we can enter that positive and healing state of mind more easily and frequently to bring more joy and abundance into our lives and those we are connected with.

Sunday, December 15th ,10am-12pm
Frank will lead our weekly meditation and Dharma talk 

Sunday, December 15th, 2pm-4pm

In Touch with Life - Frank will lead this two-hour-intensive workshop, dedicated to the healing and heartwarming quality of connecting with each other through the sense of touch. Being a teacher for mindful touch in the field of holistic bodywork over 30 years, Frank will safely guide you through exercises and structures where you can give and receive friendly, positive, respectful and compassionate energy through your hands. We will do that standing, sitting and laying. We will keep our clothing on throughout the workshop. For some it will be very healing. And we will have a lot of fun together, too!
