[Naples-News] Naples March Day of Mindfulness - Update

[Naples Community of Mindfulness]

Day of Mindfulness with the Naples Community of Mindfulness
Naples, Florida
Saturday March 8, 2008
9 AM until 4:30 PM

A day to let go of our usual responsibilities and activities so we can
restore and nourish our minds and bodies. A day devoted to the practice of
living in the present moment and touching the wonders of life that are
right here. A day to develop and deepen our practice of mindfulness and
meditative awareness in silence.  A day to relax.

A Day of Mindfulness will be held by the Naples Community of Mindfulness
in the Yolanda Beckers Innerlight Center 4810 Hickory Wood Dr, Naples,
Florida on Saturday, March 8th from 9 am until 4:30 pm. The Day will
involve sitting and walking mindfulness meditation, guided meditations, a
Dharma teaching by Fred, an opportunity for questions and answers, silent
meals, some lazy time and mindful movement. Participants are requested to
please respect and appreciate noble silence during the duration of the
formal activities of the day. An opportunity for sharing and mindful
conversation will be provided towards the end of the day.

To attend this special day, participants must register in advance, as
space is limited.  Please register with petiegriffin at yahoo.com . Everyone
is encouraged to stay for the full day, but if you cannot, please tell us

Please let us know if you need a place to stay overnight. We will do our
best to find accommodations with fellow members. This event is free and

donation or Dana for the use of the facility and the teacher is gratefully
accepted and encouraged.
