March 21st theme: “MINDFULNESS: OUR GPS TO PEACE”
The more we practice, the more likely we are to see that peace is waiting for us right here. Not someday, in some idyllic condition, but right now, no matter how messy conditions are. Peace is available whenever we remember to come home to ourselves, to arrive at our own door. How do we get here? With mindfulness as our GPS, we find our way.
Come celebrate the end of this long, lonely winter and together we will cultivate the habit of dropping into our own home and tasting peace. We’ll talk a bit, ease into some mindful movement, and together, sit and feast on our lives
“The time will come/when, with elation, /you will greet yourself arriving/ at your own door, in your own mirror, /and each will smile at the other’s welcome,/and say, sit here. Eat…” —“Love After Love,” by Derek Walcott

Facilitator: Amy Gross began practicing mindfulness meditation in l994. In 2008, after a long career as a writer and editor, she left O, The Oprah Magazine, where she was editor in chief, to focus on practice and teach MBSR. She remains awed by the brilliant way this program opens us to a healthier, clearer, kinder way to respond to whatever life throws our way. She is a contributing editor of Tricycle, The Buddhist Review, occasionally doing podcast interviews with teachers she admires.
