Monastics from Blue Cliff Monastery Offer a Day of Mindfulness
September 28 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
Walking the Path of Love, Awakening and Joy
MorningSun will host a group of 8 nuns and monks from Blue Cliff Monastery, one of the the temples/practice centers in our root tradition.
Please come join us to meet and learn from the monastics who represent the core teaching and practice of Thich Nhat Hanh.
Blue Cliff Monastery is located in Upstate New York, on the outskirts of the Catskills. It is home to nuns and monks of the Plum Village Tradition, who are ordained disciples of Thich Nhat Hanh.
MorningSun is overjoyed to offer this special program!
The program for Saturday will be facilitated by the monks and nuns, who will share with us the practice of guided sitting and walking meditations, Dharma teachings, and a mindful lunch. We hope to also to have a tea meditation and a time for Q and A about monastic life, the retreats and programs of Blue Cliff Monastery, and what it is like to be a part of the international Plum Village Monastic Community.
Please plan to arrive at 930am as the program will begin promptly at 10. This will allow you time to park and get settled in in a relaxed manner.
