Hope Church members and friends are invited to attend a retreat sponsored by Lakeshore Women for Peace.
Interested in generating more inner peace, outer peace, world peace? Through mindfulness, a proven method of cultivating awareness, reducing stress, and improving health and wellbeing, we will learn ways to find inner peace. Peace in the world begins with peace in ourselves.
This afternoon retreat is modeled after one developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, world-renowned scientist from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and includes sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful movement, and mindfulness in nature, along with instruction and inspiration. The afternoon is suitable for beginners as well as for those with experience in mindfulness meditation. Paulette Gotrian, who trained at the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, will facilitate.
