Mindfulness

The seeking of a peaceful world means the capacity for respect, calm and thoughtfulness called 'mindfulness' .
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9-9:30 we do mindfulness exercises in the Rotunda at Origins. These are understandable exercises and are meditative. They are called 'The setting up of mindfulness'. Considering the meaning, one could say that all we do is for the encouragement and protection of mindfulness!
There are retreats in May and again in September. For information on upcoming events, please see our Update.
