Awakening to the Joy of Life in the Present Moment

A Mindfulness Retreat for Adults and Families on Beautiful Featherfoot Farm in Aurora, Maine

In this peaceful setting we will train in the art of letting go of worries, settle into our True Selves, and enjoy the beauty of life together. In mindfulness, we will harvest and cook meals from the garden, enjoy fresh herbal teas together, care for farm animals, hike, swim and boat on the pond in the company of loons.

Through the deep nourishment of Dharma talks, discussions, daily sitting, walking and working meditations, we will experience satipatthana, the establishment of mindfulness, while developing our presence and understanding of our bodies, our feelings, our thinking, and life unfolding around us.

There will be a farm based children’s program that will include, as well as everything mentioned above, a chance to ride horses!

Teachings will be offered by Dharma teacher Michael Ciborski. Michael has been practicing in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh for more than 20 years, including a period of 7 years as a Buddhist monastic in Plum Village.  The retreat is being organized with great joy by Emily Lowell and Dan DeLuca, and their children, on their farm.
