Journey with me and share. . .
I’ve downloaded Mindfuless: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams, Danny Penman, and Jon Kabat-Zinn.
I will be going to New Mexico for a retreat on Buddhism and Dying in April. I have been waiting for this retreat opportunity for a lifetime. I won’t be blogging in real time but plan to have my posts ready and scheduled ahead of time.
When I get back and I am back to blogging, I am going to to start this 8-week plan and blog about it, starting at the end of April (actual dates TBA).
I’d love for you to do this with me. We already teach each other so much. Mindfulness also comes in book form as well if you’d rather read along and practice.
Can you commit for 8-weeks to sitting?
What could be more important for you?
What could be more important for family, your community, and our world?
I am also thinking that maybe setting aside a Blog Talk Radio Show where we could actually “talk” and share our experiences would be great.
I really love the idea of creating a greater sangha, even a cyber-sangha for those of us who are so far away from actual groups.
If you would like to participate, reply here and I will make sure that I add the dates to come.
Join me on the journey of being present, welcoming the breath and whatever else is there, “here and now” as we go through the 8 weeks.
Namaste,
Jennifer

Excellent Jenifer.
Here is my favorite mindfulness guy.

Karl is succinct and I like his demeanor. Enjoy
Thanks. Looks like he went through Jon Kabat-Zinn’s program. He has some great links attacted to it.
I appreciate the resource.
Sounds brilliant 🙂 I am quite disciplined about my practice at home, and visit my local centre a once or twice a week, but a cyber retreat?! Way to go!!
I wish I had a local center to connect with… The closest sangha that meets in someone’s home is 45 min away. The closest center is over 2 hours away… I need to find a job in a bigger city and get re-connected.
Sangha are important, aren’t they. It’s the difference between sweeping with one bristle and a whole lot of them in a broom. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am. I really don’t like city life (even on the outskirts!) but I came here for the Dharma. Good luck with your plans.
* edit: ‘I CAN be quite disciplined about my practice at home’ – there’s a few too many tweaks needed.
