Day of Mindful Expression

About this event

reserve your spot

Join us for a day of practice in the spirit of mindful living in community with Will and Anya.

Together, we slow down, return to the body, and allow space for expression to arise—through movement, sensing, and simple creative exploration. This is not about making art or doing anything “well,” but about coming into closer contact with our direct experience.

Through sitting meditation, guided somatic practice, walking meditation in nature, and a shared creative expression session, we explore how awareness can take form — through the body, through movement, and in connection with one another.

What to Expect

We will move through the day as a gentle arc of practice, including:

• Opening circle and sitting meditation

• Guided somatic awareness practice

• Walking meditation in nature, with a simple reflection on the seasons

• A collaborative creative expression session

• Dharma sharing circle through movement and through words

• Time for rest and quiet reflection

You are welcome to participate at your own pace. At any time, you may choose to rest, step outside, or simply observe.

No prior experience is needed. All are welcome.
