“Ethics are the refinement of how we move in the world --
the alchemy that creates our way to live together in community.
They are the deep framework for a functioning society.”
(taken from a talk by Thomas Hubl)
During our time of practice together in person, we will explore how our lives reflect and embody our true beliefs. Examining the Five Mindfulness Trainings, we will consider ways to make wise choices in our daily lives. We will have an opportunity to commit to these mindfulness trainings or to renew our vow of practice in a formal ceremony.
If you are interested in taking the Five Mindfulness Trainings for the first time, please contact:
Breathing, sitting, walking, and sharing in mindfulness together is a true renewal for our hearts at this time of deep chaos in the world. Coming home to the present moment reminds us of our connection to one another and to the miracles happening everywhere. Taking good care of our bodies and minds, we learn to become skilled agents of goodness in our world.
