2172 Kiernan Ave., Modesto, CA

Join us for a day of exploring mindfulness through community in Spanish and English. Instruction and exploration of many facets of mindfulness will be offered with opportunities for Spanish- and English-speaking practitioners to explore mindfulness separately and together in community. We will have periods of meditative movement. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.

Lunch will include mindful eating and will be held in silence.

Periods of the day will be held in silence in order to cultivate a still and quiet mind, but there will also be opportunities for interaction and discussion.

This day is freely offered to all. Donations are gratefully accepted to support the teachers and future offerings. Please bring a vegetarian (non-meat) dish to share for a pot luck lunch. For the sake of those who may have sensitivities or allergies, please do not wear scented or perfumed products. Chairs will be available. There are also a limited number of mats and cushions for use.

This daylong is suitable for beginning and all levels of practitioners.
