One-Day Meditation Retreat led by Zoketsu Norman Fischer

Kannon Do will host a one-day sitting on Saturday, October 11th. It is led by Zoketsu Norman Fischer, founder and director of Everyday Zen Foundation. This day of mindfulness offers a rare opportunity to turn our awareness to the simple activities that sustain our lives, and that we normally take for granted: breathing, walking, eating, being attentive to the workings of our mind. The distractions and pressures of daily responsibilities diminish, giving a wider world view a chance to appear, along with a sense of gratitude and calmness. We encourage you to organize your schedule so that you can attend this one day retreat. If you are interested in attending or have questions, please contact Dan Geiger at ZGFuIHwgZGFuZ2VpZ2VyICEgY29t.
