Qigong & Vipassana: A Day of Mindful Movement and Stillness
Location: Vipassana Santa Cruz, 1010 Fair Ave.
Date: Sunday, January 31, 2010
Time: 9:30am-4:30pm
Cost: dana
This day will weave together alternating strands of silent & guided sitting meditation, walking meditation, and gentle qigong movement with just enough group discussion to help identify and ground the experience. It will be a day of self-discovery as we deepen our practice of mindfulness of the body and open to embracing whatever we find there. All abilities and practice levels are welcome. This may be an especially good workshop for those wanting to try a day-long retreat, but who are concerned about not being able to sit for long periods.
