HEALING THE PAST IN THE PRESENT
Our past is with us, but it need not limit us. Thich Nhat Hanh offers us a generous range of techniques with which to re-frame our actions to live joyfully in the present.
Please join us for a day of healing, using silent, guided and walking meditations, relevant readings, Touching the Earth, deep conscious sharing and journaling–all designed to help us look at our past with compassion and new eyes of understanding.
We will also have a potluck vegetarian lunch. Bring something for yourself, and, if you like, something to share. To support your healing, you might want to bring a food which has strong associations with your past–a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? green jello with marsh mellows? Oreo cookies?
Facilitated by David Ostwald and Birgitte Moyer-Vinding.
Chairs and cushions available. Please do not wear fragrances.
In room 8-T, Riverside Church, 91 Claremont Avenue, between 120-122nd Street, one block west of Broadway in Manhattan.
