A SUMMER MINDFULNESS MEDITATION RETREAT AT POTTER’S FARM
August 12-14, 2016, Potter’s Farm, Washburn, Wisconsin
Join us at Potter’s Farm, a natural sanctuary in northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior, for a summer weekend of mindfulness meditation and yoga. The retreat will be held mostly in silence and will be guided by Paula DancingEagle Coyne, a psychologist, yoga and meditation teacher with 30 years of guiding others through transformational processes, including 10 years teaching Mindfulness- Based Stress Reduction. MBSR is the highly respected and well-researched mindfulness training developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and those at the Center for Mindfulness in Massachusetts and is offered in clinics, hospitals and other settings around the world. We are fortunate that Julie StarHawk Kilpatrick (a Public Health Nurse and facilitator of Mind Body Skills) - will be assisting.
Beginning and experienced participants will be guided through practices of meditation, yoga, and the “Noble Silence”. Dharma (teaching) talks will add to depth of practice and insight. Our retreat weekend occurs during the peak of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower, and we’ll take our mats and blankets out into the meadow at night to gaze upward. The meadows, woodland trails, historic stone barn and labyrinth of Potter’s Farm will all be available for our contemplation and walking meditations. Business leaders, coaches, teachers, health professionals, and all others are welcome. Some participants may apply for continuing education credits for their participation. Our hope is that all will feel deepened by these ancient wisdom practices, and nurtured through direct, spacious experience with natural beauty –reawakening the beauty and peace within. The cultivation of awareness and inner stillness has powerful applications for all the challenges and territories of life.
