Free Weekly Sunday Gathering
The intention of the Sunday Gatherings is to practice mindfulness together, to share experiences of our practice, and to investigate skillful means for using mindfulness-based strategies and techniques to manage the challenges of life, resulting in a mindful approach to responding rather than reacting to situations.
We base our sessions around a theme. It might be an investigation of a mindfulness teacher, an attitude of mindfulness, or a skill such as mindful speaking and listening and include a series of practices – mindful movement, a reflective practice, group sharing on the experience of the practices, and a closing poem.

Monthly Reflect and Connect Guided Retreat
A retreat provides an opportunity and a caring space for undertaking guided meditation, like an immersion course in a language. Meditation retreats offer practical instruction for mindfulness meditation in a shared community setting. Participants can reflect in practice and share their experience connecting with others in the group.
Take time for yourself, in community. Our 4-hour retreat will focus on a theme and include guided movement, breath, and reflection practices, with time for connection and sharing.

Online Mindful Yoga Class Gathering
The focus of mindful movement/yoga instruction is bringing awareness to the sensations in the body and noticing when the mind has wandered and then gently bringing the attention back to sensations in the body, intentionally cultivating greater awareness of and groundedness in the body while becoming aware of what is happening in the mind and emotions.
The 1.25 hour class features a “peak pose” as a focus, which allows the participants to practice through a series of preparatory poses. The classes incorporate mindful cueing that invites inquiry and curiosity, as well as other mindful attitudes into the practice. The 8-week series is scaffolded to both focus on particular areas in the body, as well as provide an overall gentle stretch and tone experience.

Gratitude
“A daily gratitude practice can be life-changing. Finding things to be grateful for, even in times of uncertainty, helps me to realign with my inner strength and wisdom. Although it can be difficult to find things to appreciate, once I start I realize the opportunities for gratitude are endless and more and more things appear in my field of awareness for me to be grateful for. May this meditation be a starting place for you in recognizing the gift that you are to this world and the magnificence within each of us.” ~ Daphne Marsella
Benefits of Intentional Breath Practices
What are breath practices?
Breath practices cultivate awareness and control of the breath to change one’s physical, mental, and emotional state. Practitioners learn to work with the autonomic nervous system (ANS) By learning to influence the breath, The ANS is the part that’s responsible for involuntary functions. When under stress, the sympathetic nervous system kicks into gear, increasing our heart rate and breathing pace. Once the need for increased cortisol, oxygen, and glucose has passed, the parasympathetic nervous system takes over, bringing the whole body back into rest mode.
The top 5 health benefits of Breath Practices:
- Reduces stress
- Helps to manage difficult emotions
- Improves the immune system
- Relieves and helps manage pain
- Increases self-compassion
