Click here to register.  There will be a $75 fee for this program to offset the Washoe County fee for the Fish Hatchery.

This one-day retreat introduces participants to mindfulness and mindful self-compassion. The focus of

the retreat will be on meditation-based practices, including the body scan, walking meditation mindful

movement, loving-kindness meditation, compassionate meditations and visualization practices, and

sensory awareness.

Part of the retreat will be in silence to support participants in their personal explorations. While

participants will be able to turn inward, rest, and contemplate throughout the day, the location for the

retreat, Galena Creek Park, uniquely allows for immersion in and communion with nature. The retreat

facilitators will offer exercises that integrate the natural world in reflections and contemplations.

This retreat is designed for all who desire to learn about mindfulness and mindful self-compassion. No

prior experience is required. This retreat simply offers an opportunity to take time out of our busy lives

to experience calm, ease and joy or to rekindle a mindfulness practice.

In addition to offering some basic information on mindfulness and mindful self-compassion, the retreat

facilitators will guide participants through many practices and offer support as needed.
