Description:
“Oh wondrous creatures. By what strange miracle do you so often not smile?” Hafiz

Treat yourself to a relaxing day of sitting and walking mindfulness meditation interspersed with the poetry and humor of the ages. The day will include guided meditations on the evolutionary origin of our body and emotions, reflections on aging and impermanence, and an exploration of the tricky delusions of mind and the mystery of consciousness itself. Throughout the day, we will hear from poets and crazy wisdom masters, from Lao Tzu and Rumi to Mark Twain and Lily Tomlin, giving us some perspective on this strange, impossible life we are leading. You may not get enlightened, but you are likely to have a few laughs and acquire a healthy dose of inspiration. Come on along!

“There ain’t no answer. There ain’t going to be any answer. There never has been an answer. That’s the answer.”
Gertrude Stein

“Read not the Times. Read the Eternities.” Henry David Thoreau
