In February 2011, 5 people participated in a Day of Mindfulness. It was a wonderful day that included: sitting meditation, walking meditation, Touching the Earth Practice, guided meditation, and a nice pot-luck afterward. As seen in the photo, the walking meditation was delightful. Cold and sunny – it wasn’t clear to us who had more freedom, the dogs running off leash or us!
