We often hear advice on “being present,” “living in the moment,” the “eternal now.” And, how might we take to heart such advice? How might we put such advice into practice? Join us for a one-day retreat with Zen Master Barbara Meido Anderson exploring the meaning and practice of living a wide-awake life, a life of mindful presence, curiosity and wonder. The retreat will emphasize interactive activities including guided meditation, active listening, movement improvisation, sound circle and koan practice via contemplative reading and sharing.

Prior meditation experience is not required. The retreat is designed to be participatory and beneficial for all.

A pot luck meal will be provided by the Southern Tier Sangha
