Our spiritual practice however, teaches us to let go of some of these certainties, and discover new ways to experience mindful practice.Many people are accustomed to the belief that meditation practice only happens while sitting on a cushion. Our minds can become conditioned in this way, and we forget that meditation is a practice for developing mindfulness for daily living.Join Bhante Sujatha on a sunset hike with mindfulness, to shake up your practice and challenge the notions that you may or may not have adopted.In this evening hike, Bhante and a group of noble friends will share time skillfully with hiking, sharing meaningful conversation, practicing stillness to experience nature, and learning to watch the steps and breaths taken along the way.Date: January 2, 2024Time: 4:30 PMStarting Location: The Phoenix Mountain Preserve, 40th Street TrailheadRegistration: For Head Count Purposes, please register on EventbriteDonation are cheerfully welcomed at this event.All proceeds go toward Bhante Sujatha’s “Annual Pregnant Mother’s Project” and charitable work in Sri Lanka.NOTES:We will meet in the parking lot at the trailhead.
