Holiday Retreat

[Magnolia Grove Monastery]

"It is possible to live happily in the here and now. So many
conditions of happiness are available—more than enough for you to be
happy right now.
You don't have to run into the future in order to get more." Zen
Master Thich Nhat Hanh


It is our immense joy and happiness to share with you our first
Holiday Retreat at Magnolia Grove Monastery on December 29, 2010 -
January 02, 2011. Let us come together as a spiritual family and help
each other to cultivate the love, peace, joy, happiness that are
present in each one of us. Mindfulness can help us to cultivate these
beautiful flowers in our hearts. In this retreat, we will practice
together the practices of mindful walking, mindful breathing, mindful
smiling, mindful eating, mindful working, mindful sharing and mindful
of the present moment. We will learn how to bring our mind back to our
body and be truly alive in the present moment. We will practice deep
listening and loving speech so that the understanding and love
continue to manifest beautifully for ourselves and for our loved ones.
This is truly a beautiful aspiration for the year 2011. People of all
ages, experience and backgrounds are welcome. Adults and families with
children are all welcome at this retreat. Registration starts on
November 29, 2010 and please register by December 25, 2010. Please
