A One-Day (or half-day) Silent Meditation Retreat
Suitable for both beginning and experienced meditation students, this silent meditation retreat includes guided meditation periods, silent sitting and walking meditation, dharma talk in the afternoon, and question-and-answer session.
When: Saturday, May 4, 2013 from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Where: Third Haven Friends Meeting House, 405 South Washington St, Easton, MD
What: This day of practice will include direction in mindfulness of the breath, body, emotions and thoughts as a way of becoming aware of the habits and compulsions that we have developed to cope with life’s challenges.
Through the practice of insight meditation and concentration, it is possible to work with habits of behaviors, thought and emotional patterns. In this way, instead of the old ways of reacting to life’s stresses, you develop more skillful ways of responding
to them that will bring you increased meaning, joy and freedom no matter how stressful your life may be.
Teacher: Larissa Kitenko, founder of The Easton Meditation Group and a longtime practitioner of Insight Meditation will lead the Letting Go of Negative Habits meditation retreat.
She has been teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) since 2005 and volunteers as an Associate Clinical Chaplain at Shore Health. Kitenko has been teaching mindfulness meditation on the Eastern Shore
for many years as well as in Washington, DC.
No Registration Fee; there will be an opportunity to make a donation towards the support of the practice of the teacher and also for Third Haven Friends Meeting.
