Mindful Silence Practice Day at the Tauhara Centre
Spring 2021
When: Saturday September 18 2021
Tauhara Centre, Acacia Bay, Taupō www.tauharacentre.org.nz/
Cost: Recommended Dana/Koha to the Tauhara Centre $25 (but don't let the cost stop you! Any donation you can afford is appropriate)
Bring your own lunch
Times 10.00 to 3.30 pm
A local course run in Taupo for Taupo people and led by Deirdre.
Gather to sit around the fire place or wander the beautiful grounds - all in a companionable silence with a minimum of talking.
This is an invitation to move gently into a fuller experience of the present moment. What would you discover if you could move slowly and mindfully through a whole day without the distractions of talking or the requirements of your busy life? What neural pathways could you begin to lay down if you could practice consistently along side others also committed to strengthening their daily mindfulness practice?
This is a self-catering day in the tranquil surroundings of the Tauhara Centre for those who have had mindfulness training and/or have a regular daily meditation practice. It is an opportunity for those who are already growing their regular mindfulness practice to be supported and inspired to continue developing their techniques, to gently deepen and expand their present-moment experience and to ground themselves in the quietness of simple daily activities.
Places are limited. Please contact Deirdre to find out more or to secure a place.
