The incessant and often unreasonable demands of being a lawyer take a big toll on the well-being of those of us in the profession. This is exacerbated as many of us work in dysfunctional and uncaring office environments or in a practice with constant conflict.

We tend to be overachievers, with relentless inner-critics and our legal training only strengthens this critical mind which we can use against ourselves in unskillful ways. We can easily become depressed, jaded or cynical as the heart hardens to protect us from the suffering of it all.

This daylong retreat will focus on practices designed to incline the mind and heart to states of joy, compassion and gratitude and to soften the heart.

You’re invited to a day of silent periods of sitting meditation, walking meditation and some movement with teachings and instruction. We will practice mindfulness as well as compassion practices.
Part of the day will be in Noble Silence, but there will also be an opportunity for mindful group discussion to foster a sense of community and break the sense of isolation that can accompany law practice.

Open to beginners as well as experienced meditation practitioners. Join us for a lovely day of practice in a community of peers!

Young Adults (18-26) and Seniors (65+ with limited income) are invited to attend this day for $45.
