SUMMARY:Educator Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This summer MorningSun will offer another retreat for classroom teachers\, administrators\, social workers\, others in the field of education\, and basically anyone who works with youth/young people. \nFor the second year in a row\, our lead facilitators will be Dharma Teachers Richard Brady\, Fern Dorresteyn\, and Wake Up Schools Educator Elena Cardo. We invite you to join these longtime educators and wonderful Dharma Teachers from the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh for this special retreat. (see below for bio details) \nThis is a Wake-Up Schools Level I Retreat.  For more information\, visit wakeupschools.org (there is a lot of inspiring material available on their site!) \n3 CEU’s available: Please remember that if you are currently employed as a teacher you may be able to have your retreat cost covered by your employer as this is an accredited CEU program. For more information and to apply\, please email Bobbi at bobbi.schnorr@gmail.com. \nThe retreat will offer participants a chance to refresh themselves and cultivate their own personal mindfulness practice as a base for any sharing of mindfulness with others. It will support them to have an experiential understanding of the practices\, and develop the language and skills needed to bring the practice back to the communities they serve. They will also learn effective methods to enhance presence and connection with others\, attention\, kindness\, and emotional well-being inside and outside the classroom. \nThe retreat center at MorningSun offers an intimate setting in nature that pleasantly supports our communal practice of mindfulness. The modest retreat size is a precious and powerful opportunity that allows for every participant to have personal contact with the Teachers. \nWe are excited to welcome you to our community of practice! \nPractices during the retreat will include: \n\nSitting Meditation\nWalking Meditation\nMindful Eating\nDeep Relaxation\nCircle Sharing\nLoving speech & deep listening\nBeginning anew (conflict resolution)\nStopping\, Pausing\, and Looking Deeply\nBells of Mindfulness in Daily Life\n\nThe retreat will also include: \n\nWorkshops for sharing mindfulness practice with youth\nWays to develop mindful communication\nInspiration to support mindfulness practice among co-workers and school staff\nAnd more…\n\n\nLead Teachers: \nRichard Brady is a retreat leader\, writer\, educational consultant\, and coordinator of the Wake Up Schools Level II Program in North America.  He is a founder of the Mindfulness in Education Network\, an international organization with 1\,700 participants. In 2001\, he received lamp transmission from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to be a Dharma teacher in his tradition with a special focus on cultivating mindfulness in young people.  Richard has lead retreats and offered workshops for educators in the US\, Italy\, and Germany. He is an editor of Tuning In: Mindfulness in Teaching and Learning (2009). Other writings are available at www.mindingourlives.net. \nFern Dorresteyn is a Dharma teacher in the Plum Village tradition\, a founder of the Morning Sun Mindfulness Community\, and a mother of three.  She lived in Plum Village monasteries for nine years\, training in the meditative arts as a nun for seven. While in Plum Village she worked with the Plum Village community and Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh to organize and offer meditation retreats around the world. She has been organizing and leading children’s programs and mindfulness retreats for families in  the Plum Village tradition since 1996.  In 2006 she completed a training at Sophia’s Hearth Family Center for caring for young children and families. \nElena Cardo is a public school teacher and retreat leader who began practicing mindfulness in the Plum Village tradition in 1998. A high school art teacher for 23 years\, Elena has infused mindfulness into her classroom\, and ultimately into her school. Since creating a mindfulness room where students and staff are invited to breathe\, Elena has taught Mindfulness classes to students and offers professional development workshops to teachers and staff.\nNow a Wake Up Schools Level II facilitator\, Elena has led retreats and workshops for educators. She is inspired to support  educators to embody a peaceful\, happy presence through the practices of mindfulness\, so they may in turn share these practices with colleagues and students in their school communities. \n\nLogistics: \nArrival for the retreat is Wednesday\, June 28th\, from 3pm to 6pm. Departure is on Sunday after lunch on July 2nd\, at 2pm. Please provide your own transportation to and from MorningSun. \nThis is a small retreat and spaces are limited. Booking early is highly suggested as the retreat will likely sell out. The intimate nature of this small retreat is rare for educators retreats\, and registration will likely be closed well before the retreat begins.  You will receive confirmation of your space upon registration and receipt of payment. \nCost: There are two parts to the program cost: \n\nThe Program (offered on an affordable sliding scale: $240 – 440)\nAccommodations (costs vary from camping ($50) to dormitory rooms ($180))\nAnd to apply for CEU credit please email Bobbi at bobbi.schnorr@gmail.com.\n\nFinancial Assistance:  Anyone who wishes to attend the retreat will be welcomed\, no matter of financial ability. If the lowest tier is still too high for you you can self select some financial assistance from within the registration form.  If you need a full scholarship please contact us. \nAccommodations:  We have several rooms available in “El Cielo” (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’)\, and also camping.  Our campground is primitive\, with flat sandy sites\, outdoor showers and outhouses.  You must provide your own tent and camping equipment.  Campers will also have access to the first floor toilet and laundry in The Barn.  You may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally (or book a hotel/airbnb). \nFor more questions\, please email us at morningsunoffice@gmail.com \n\nDear friends\, accommodations in El Cielo (our dormitory) are almost full.

SUMMARY:“Love is Freedom” – Earth Healing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Practice with us in-person at MorningSun while we stream the teachings direct from Plum Village!\nWe will hold an in-person retreat experience at MorningSun parallel with the Plum Village retreat in France.  While the Dharma teachings will be video streamed from France\, we will manifest a retreat community in-person in the beautiful natural setting of MorningSun\, with shared sitting and walking meditations\, mindful meals\, and discussion groups. \nPart of every program fee will be sent to Plum Village as an offering to support the monastic community there. \n\nIn this present time of global biodiversity\, social and climate crises\, how can love show us the way? \nThe mindfulness practices as taught by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh help us cultivate greater understanding\, healing and transformation. They are a path of great love – one that does not demand anything in return\, that expands us\, that frees us from individual and collective fears\, greed\, and illusion. A kind of love that liberates us to engage in ways that can contribute to a better world for all. \nFor the first time\, Plum Village is hosting a global Earth Retreat that unfolds both on-site and online. We will learn mindfulness practices that help us cultivate happiness\, love and freedom\, and join in workshops and panels on the themes of spirituality & activism; social & racial justice; how to take care of our grief and “eco-anxiety”; among others. Together we will cultivate peace and the insight of Inter-being which can surely be the ground for a better future for all on Earth. \n\nDharma Teachers\nSister Chan Duc (“True Virtue”)\, Brother Phap Huu\, Sr. Luc Nghiem and Br. Phap Linh are among the Dharma teachers who will offer talks during this retreat. \n  \n  \n\nWorkshops (within the retreat)\n\nFor activists and with activists (from non-violent movements)\nThe work that reconnects\nDeep relating (from Deep Adaptation Movement)\nClimate fresk\nMindfulness and self-care: a way to avoid burnout\n\n\nLogistics: \nArrival for the retreat is Friday\, June 16th\, from 3pm to 6pm. Departure is on Friday after lunch on June 23rd\, at 2pm. Please provide your own transportation to and from MorningSun. \nCost: There are two parts to the program cost: \n\nThe Program (offered on an affordable sliding scale: $290 – 490)\nAccommodations (costs vary from camping ($70) to dormitory rooms ($230))\n\nFinancial Assistance:  Anyone who wishes to attend the retreat will be welcomed\, no matter of financial ability. If the lowest tier is still too high for you you can self select some financial assistance from within the registration form.  If you need a full scholarship please contact us. \nAccommodations:  We have several rooms available in “El Cielo” (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’)\, and also camping.  Our campground is primitive\, with flat sandy sites\, outdoor showers and outhouses.  You must provide your own tent and camping equipment.  Campers will also have access to the first floor toilet and laundry in El Cielo.  You may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally (or book a hotel/b and b). \n\nDear friends\, registration for our in-person Earth Holder Retreat has closed.

SUMMARY:Online Practice with Fern and Michael
DESCRIPTION:Refreshing Ourselves and Our Relationships: The Wonderful Path of Selective Seed Watering \nSangha Offerings from Plum Village Dharma Teachers and MorningSun founders Michael Ciborski and Fern Dorresteyn.  \nDuring this afternoon we are invited to slow down together\, to renew ourself with practices like guided meditation and total relaxation\, as we explore the path of selective seed watering and how we apply it directly in our daily lives. \nWe have the power to grow our well being in the same way we can grow a garden. We return to our inner landscape\, clear away the old leaves and weeds\, and carefully nourish inner flowers like loving kindness\, peacefulness and wonder. \nOur own thinking with its worries\, opinions\, judgements and criticisms is a tremendous obstacle to happiness.  As we begin to understand our unwholesome thought patterns\, a careful practice of seed watering can help us to transform them so that we no longer need to chase after ideas of happiness outside of ourself or in the future. \nEach moment can be a new beginning. We can realize how miraculous it is that we are alive. Like walking out a garden path in the Springtime\, freshness and beauty are natural and abundant. \nWe will also reflect\, through the same practice\, on how we care for our relationships with others\, and how our practice of mindful consumption plays a very important role in our experience of both suffering and happiness. \nThis online class will combine Dharma teachings\, guided meditations\, reflective exercises and small group sharing. \nSpecial materials: Please bring paper/journal and writing material\, and take some time before the event to turn your space into a fresh and calming practice space\, perhaps lighting a candle and incense\, or arranging some flowers near your chair or cushion. \nSchedule (Eastern Time\, Turtle Island/USA):  \n\n2:45 pm Early Login Encouraged\n3:00 pm: Welcome to the Sangha \n3:10 pm: Guided Opening Meditation\n3:20-5:25 pm: Dharma Teachings\, Reflections\, Deep Relaxation\, and Small Group Sharing\n5:25 pm: Sharing the Merit\, Goodbyes (end at 5:30 pm)\n\nLogistics: \nRegistration form is below. \nProgram costs are on a sliding scale.  Registration includes a place for offering dana (financial gift) to the teachers.  Alternatively\, after you register\, you may make a gift directly through Michael’s website TrueMiddleWay.org\, or become an ongoing supporter of Fern and Michael through their Patreon account\, or offer dana through MorningSun’s Giving page (please designate it to the Teaching Fund).  Thank you so much. \nThe registration form also offers an opportunity for requesting scholarship. \nAfter you register\, you will receive an email with information on how to connect from home to this online event: \n\n\n\n\n2023 Online Practice with Fern and Michael Registration Form\n2023 Online Practice with Fern and Michael Registration Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Practice with Fern and Michael Registration\n\n\n\n\n    Please choose which Day of Mindfulness you are registering for:\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 May 28 2023 Online Practice with Fern and Michael\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nContact Information\n\n\n\n    Your Name\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Email Address\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\nProgram\nAfter you complete the registration\, you will receive an email with the links for you to connect to the days activities from your own home.

SUMMARY:Mindful Living Weekend
DESCRIPTION:On the third weekend of the month we are open for guests to practice at Morning Sun\, you can join for the whole Mindful Living Weekend (Fri evening through Sunday)\, or for just the Day of Quiet Renewal (Saturday)\, or just the Day of Mindfulness (Sunday). Our Sangha will hold a recitation of either the Five Mindfulness Trainings or the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing on Sunday morning. There is also a gathering for the Order of Interbeing members and aspirants on Sunday afternoon. \n\n(Scroll Down to Register) \n\nWe have set up a registration form that allows for attending all or part of the weekend program: \n\nMindful Living Weekend – Friday 7pm-Sunday 2pm (there is a Saturday morning arrival option too) An opportunity to practice slowing down and returning to ourselves with gentle care\, to practice mindfulness with the resident community and to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Morning Sun. The program begins with arrival after dinner for sitting meditation on Friday evening. Wake in the morning to a quiet breakfast before the Day of Meditation and Renewal program (see below). On Saturday night enjoy community dinner and evening practice with a Tea Meditation (Happiness Gathering). Then wake for breakfast on Sunday before attending the Day of Mindfulness (see below). Morning Sun will prepare your meals while you are here\, with the exception of Saturday lunch (bagged vegetarian BYO) (more accommodation and meal details are on the registration form).\nDay of Quiet Renewal – Saturday 9:30-4:00 (there is a Friday evening arrival option too) A day to refresh ourselves and have time for quiet reflection and meditation. The day is held in silence\, and includes several sitting meditation sessions\, a recorded Dharma Talk by Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, guided deep relaxation\, outdoor walking meditation\, stretching and silent lunch (bring your own bag vegetarian lunch).\nDay of Mindfulness – Sunday 9:30-2:00 (there is a Saturday evening arrival option too) This day of mindfulness is open for everyone. It will include sitting meditation\, a Mindfulness Training Recitation Ceremony\, a talk about the practice of mindfulness\, outdoor walking meditation\, and vegetarian BYO bagged lunch (if you are staying overnight from Saturday your lunch is included in your program and will be prepared by MorningSun).\nSunday Afternoon Order of Interbeing Gathering  After the day ends at 2\, there will be a gathering for Order of Interbeing members and aspirants from 2:00-3:30.  During this gathering we will blend training in facilitation skills with deep looking into practices and issues pertaining to the OI community.\n\n\nCOVID-19:  We are happy to open our doors to the public for these nourishing\, heart-felt\, and refreshing events.  If you have any symptoms or might have been exposed to Covid-19 or other respiratory viruses\, we ask that you stay home and practice with us in your hearts.  Indoor spaces will be ventilated with windows cracked open and an air purifier running\, so if it is cold\, please wear warm layers.  Face masks are optional so please bring a mask to wear if you would like.  Thank you so much for your presence and care. \n\nAccommodations: Depending on the time of year we have several types of accommodations. \n\nWe have several rooms available in “The Barn” (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’).\nFrom April through October we also have camping. Our campground is primitive\, with flat sandy sites\, outdoor showers and outhouses. You must provide your own tent and camping equipment. Campers will also have access to the first floor toilet and clothes washing machine in The Barn.\nYou may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally (or book a hotel/airbnb).\n\n\nRetreat Conduct: There will be periods of silence and periods to enjoy conversations with others. To create a gentle and quiet retreat atmosphere\, we practice with the Five Mindfulness Trainings. Meals will be plant-based (vegetarian)\, and we do not drink alcohol\, ingest intoxicants or any recreational drugs. Firearms and other weapons are not permitted in the Mindfulness Center. In order for everyone to feel respected and safe during their retreat MorningSun will not support or tolerate any act of bullying\, discrimination\, sexual harassment or assault. On arrival each participant must affirm these practices by signing a commitment to maintain retreat conduct. \n\nDear Friends\,  \nDue to effects from the late winter storm this week we have cancelled the Friday and Saturday aspects of the March Mindful Living Weekend.  Please only use the registration form to register for Sunday’s Day of Mindfulness. \n\n\n\n\n\n2023 Mindful Living Weekend Registration Form\n2023 Mindful Living Weekend Registration Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMindful Living Weekend Registration\n\n\n\n\n    Please choose which month you are registering for:\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 February 17-19\, 2023\n					\n					 March 17-19\, 2023\n					\n					 April 14-16\, 2023\n					\n					 May 19-21\, 2023\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n    Please select your Program\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Mindful Living Weekend (Sat AND Sun - with Fri night option)\n					\n					 Day of Quiet Renewal (Sat only - with Fri night option)\n					\n					 Day of Mindfulness (Sun only - with Sat night option)\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Mindful Living Weekend\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Whole weekend (Arrive Fri 7pm- Depart Sun 2pm)\n					\n					 Partial weekend (Arrive Sat 930am- Depart Sun 2pm)\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Day of Quiet Renewal (Saturday 930-4)\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Arrive Fri 7pm- Depart Sat 4pm\n					\n					 Arrive Sat 930am- Depart Sat 4pm\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Day of Mindfulness (Sunday 930-2)\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Arrive Sat 5pm- Depart Sun 2pm\n					\n					 Arrive Sun 10am- Depart Sun 2pm\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    I will be staying for the Order of Interbeing Gathering (Sunday 230-4)\n        \n    \n    					\n			 I am an OI member\n					\n			 I am an OI aspirant\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nProgram & Meals Contribution\n\n\n\n    Program Contribution (Whole Weekend)\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 $80\n					\n					 $100\n					\n					 $120\n\n    (sliding scale) Includes Saturday breakfast and dinner\, Sunday breakfast and lunch.

SUMMARY:Mindful Living Weekend
DESCRIPTION:On the third weekend of the month we are open for guests to practice at Morning Sun\, you can join for the whole Mindful Living Weekend (Fri evening through Sunday)\, or for just the Day of Quiet Renewal (Saturday)\, or just the Day of Mindfulness (Sunday). Our Sangha will hold a recitation of either the Five Mindfulness Trainings or the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing on Sunday morning. There is also a gathering for the Order of Interbeing members and aspirants on Sunday afternoon. \n\n(Scroll Down to Register) \n\nWe have set up a registration form that allows for attending all or part of the weekend program: \n\nMindful Living Weekend – Friday 7pm-Sunday 2pm (there is a Saturday morning arrival option too) An opportunity to practice slowing down and returning to ourselves with gentle care\, to practice mindfulness with the resident community and to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Morning Sun. The program begins with arrival after dinner for sitting meditation on Friday evening. Wake in the morning to a quiet breakfast before the Day of Meditation and Renewal program (see below). On Saturday night enjoy community dinner and evening practice with a Tea Meditation (Happiness Gathering). Then wake for breakfast on Sunday before attending the Day of Mindfulness (see below). Morning Sun will prepare your meals while you are here\, with the exception of Saturday lunch (bagged vegetarian BYO) (more accommodation and meal details are on the registration form).\nDay of Quiet Renewal – Saturday 9:30-4:00 (there is a Friday evening arrival option too) A day to refresh ourselves and have time for quiet reflection and meditation. The day is held in silence\, and includes several sitting meditation sessions\, a recorded Dharma Talk by Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, guided deep relaxation\, outdoor walking meditation\, stretching and silent lunch (bring your own bag vegetarian lunch).\nDay of Mindfulness – Sunday 9:30-2:00 (there is a Saturday evening arrival option too) This day of mindfulness is open for everyone. It will include sitting meditation\, a Mindfulness Training Recitation Ceremony\, a talk about the practice of mindfulness\, outdoor walking meditation\, and vegetarian BYO bagged lunch (if you are staying overnight from Saturday your lunch is included in your program and will be prepared by MorningSun).\nSunday Afternoon Order of Interbeing Gathering  After the day ends at 2\, there will be a gathering for Order of Interbeing members and aspirants from 2:00-3:30.  During this gathering we will blend training in facilitation skills with deep looking into practices and issues pertaining to the OI community.\n\n\nCOVID-19:  We are happy to open our doors to the public for these nourishing\, heart-felt\, and refreshing events.  If you have any symptoms or might have been exposed to Covid-19 or other respiratory viruses\, we ask that you stay home and practice with us in your hearts.  Indoor spaces will be ventilated with windows cracked open and an air purifier running\, so if it is cold\, please wear warm layers.  Face masks are optional so please bring a mask to wear if you would like.  Thank you so much for your presence and care. \n\nAccommodations: Depending on the time of year we have several types of accommodations. \n\nWe have several rooms available in El Cielo (formerly “The Barn”) (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’).\nFrom April through October we also have camping. Our campground is primitive\, with flat sandy sites\, outdoor showers and outhouses. You must provide your own tent and camping equipment. Campers will also have access to the first floor toilet and clothes washing machine in El Cielo.\nYou may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally (or book a hotel/airbnb).\n\n\nRetreat Conduct: There will be periods of silence and periods to enjoy conversations with others. To create a gentle and quiet retreat atmosphere\, we practice with the Five Mindfulness Trainings. Meals will be plant-based (vegetarian)\, and we do not drink alcohol\, ingest intoxicants or any recreational drugs. Firearms and other weapons are not permitted in the Mindfulness Center. In order for everyone to feel respected and safe during their retreat MorningSun will not support or tolerate any act of bullying\, discrimination\, sexual harassment or assault. On arrival each participant must affirm these practices by signing a commitment to maintain retreat conduct. \n\n\nRegistration: Dear friends\, in keeping the retreat size small\, we have reached capacity. Our waitlist sometimes moves quickly. If you would like to be placed on the waitlist for this retreat\, please send us an email at morningsunoffice@gmail.com. We still have space for the Sunday Day of Mindfulness and/or OI Tea! Please also send us an email us if you would like to come for this 🙂\nThank you so much for your compassion. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:September Mindful Living Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Living Weekend\n“Harvesting Gratitude From the Simple Things”\n  \nIn this special autumnal time\, we gather to practice mindfulness and renew our connection to our breathing and to nature.  \n“May all living beings\, with grace and ease\, fulfill the Bodhisattva Stages. The countenance of the World-Honored One\, like the full moon\, or like the orb of the sun\, shines with the light of clarity. A halo of wisdom spreads in every direction\, enveloping all with love and compassion\, joy\, and equanimity.” – May The Day Be Well Chant from Plum Village Sangha \n\n\n\nOn the third weekend of the month we are open for guests to practice at Morning Sun. You can join for the whole Mindful Living Weekend (Fri evening through Sunday)\, or for just the Day of Quiet Renewal (Saturday)\, or just the Day of Mindfulness (Sunday). There is also a gathering for the Order of Interbeing for Order members and aspirants on Sunday afternoon.\nWe have set up a registration form that aims to support the different options for participation.\n  \n\nMindful Living Weekend Friday 7pm-Sunday 2pm  (there is a Saturday morning arrival option too) An opportunity to practice slowing down and returning to ourselves with gentle care\, to practice mindfulness with the resident community and to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Morning Sun. The program begins with arrival after dinner for sitting meditation on Friday evening. Wake in the morning to a quiet breakfast before the Day of Meditation and Renewal program. On Saturday night enjoy community dinner and evening practice with a Tea Meditation (Happiness Gathering). Then wake for breakfast on Sunday before attending the Day of Mindfulness. Morning Sun will prepare your meals while you are here\, with the exception of Saturday lunch (bagged BYO) (accommodation and meal details are on the registration form).\n Day of Quiet Renewal\, Saturday 9:30-4:00  (there is a Friday evening arrival option too) A day to refresh ourselves and have time for quiet reflection and meditation. The day is held in silence\, including several sitting sessions\, a recorded Dharma Talk by Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, deep relaxation\, outdoor walking meditation\, stretching and silent lunch (bring your own bag lunch).\n Day of Mindfulness\, Sunday 9:30-2:00  (there is a Saturday evening arrival option too)  This day of mindfulness is open for everyone. It will include sitting meditation\, a Mindfulness Training Recitation\, a talk about the practice of mindfulness\, outdoor walking meditation\, and vegetarian BYO bagged lunch (if you are staying overnight from Saturday your lunch is included in your program and will be prepared by MorningSun).\n\nAfter the day ends at 2\, there will be a gathering for Order of Interbeing members and aspirants from 2:00-3:30 \n\nCOVID-19: Due to the pandemic\, we will still uphold safety measures at MorningSun.  This retreat is open to adults who have been fully vaccinated\, (if you are not vaccinated yet\, or do not intend to be\, please contact us to talk more about your options). Face masks are optional. Indoor spaces will be ventilated with windows cracked open and an air purifier running\, so if it is cold\, please wear warm layers. There will not be much ability to practice physical distancing in indoor spaces because of the size of the halls\, but there will be a couple areas to sit with further distance from others\, so we welcome you to come if this feels okay for you. The outhouses and indoor restrooms will be available. Please bring a mask to wear if you would like. Please respect the needs and practices of those who wish to wear masks or have physical distance. We will continuously update this information depending on current conditions and local information. Thank you so much for your presence and care. \n\nAccommodations: We have several rooms available in “The Barn” (beds for 7-12 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’)\, and also camping.  Our campground is primitive\, with flat sandy sites\, outdoor showers and outhouses.  You must provide your own tent and camping equipment.  Campers will also have access to the first floor toilet and clothes washing machine in The Barn.  Camping is not available November through March.  You may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally. \n\nRetreat Conduct: There will be periods of silence and periods to enjoy conversations with others. To create a gentle and quiet retreat atmosphere\, we practice with the Five Mindfulness Trainings. Meals will be vegetarian\, and we do not drink alcohol\, ingest intoxicants or any recreational drugs. Firearms and other weapons are not permitted in the Mindfulness Center.  \n\n\n\n\n2023 Mindful Living Weekend Registration Form\n2023 Mindful Living Weekend Registration Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMindful Living Weekend Registration\n\n\n\n\n    Please choose which month you are registering for:\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 February 17-19\, 2023\n					\n					 March 17-19\, 2023\n					\n					 April 14-16\, 2023\n					\n					 May 19-21\, 2023\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n    Please select your Program\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Mindful Living Weekend (Sat AND Sun - with Fri night option)\n					\n					 Day of Quiet Renewal (Sat only - with Fri night option)\n					\n					 Day of Mindfulness (Sun only - with Sat night option)\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Mindful Living Weekend\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Whole weekend (Arrive Fri 7pm- Depart Sun 2pm)\n					\n					 Partial weekend (Arrive Sat 930am- Depart Sun 2pm)\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Day of Quiet Renewal (Saturday 930-4)\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Arrive Fri 7pm- Depart Sat 4pm\n					\n					 Arrive Sat 930am- Depart Sat 4pm\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    Day of Mindfulness (Sunday 930-2)\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 Arrive Sat 5pm- Depart Sun 2pm\n					\n					 Arrive Sun 10am- Depart Sun 2pm\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    I will be staying for the Order of Interbeing Gathering (Sunday 230-4)\n        \n    \n    					\n			 I am an OI member\n					\n			 I am an OI aspirant\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nProgram & Meals Contribution\n\n\n\n    Program Contribution (Whole Weekend)\n        *\n    \n    					\n					 $80\n					\n					 $100\n					\n					 $120\n\n    (sliding scale) Includes Saturday breakfast and dinner\, Sunday breakfast and lunch.

SUMMARY:True Continuation - Celebrating Thich Nhat Hanh
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\, please join us at MorningSun to practice becoming a “True Continuation” of Thich Nhat Hanh.\nThay encouraged us countless times to reach deep into the experience of each moment and Touch Life Deeply – using our eyes of Interbeing and Impermanence to see how life is ever transforming and continuing; how each one of us is like a River of Life\, the continuation of all our ancestors\, manifesting those who have gone before in new ways through our own lives. \nHe does not want us to be caught in the dissolution of the form of his body\, but instead to open our minds and hearts and bodies to become his True Continuation. \nEach mindful breath\, peaceful step\, kind smile and compassionate act allows us to be with Thay right here and now\, and allows Thays understanding and love to continue to manifest in the world. \n  \nDuring this retreat we will celebrate Thay’s life and teaching by highlighting and practicing many of his deep and wonderful transmissions.  More details on just how we will do this are forthcoming\, soon. \n\nRegistration: Dear friends\, in keeping the retreat size small\, we have reached capacity. We still currently have space for commuters\, so please email us! The waitlist for staying in the campsites or Barn sometimes moves quickly. If you would like to be placed on the waitlist for this retreat\, please send us an email at morningsunoffice@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your compassion.
