2009 Retreats with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear Dharma Brothers and Sisters,

The Broward Lotus Sangha invites you to join us during Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s 2009 tour of the U.S.A. when, as one community (or Sangha), we will be attending some of his retreats. Just like we do in our BLS Days of Mindfulness and Mini-Retreats, we will enjoy healing practices such as sitting meditation, mindful breathing, mindful walking, mindful sharing, silent meals, total relaxation, mindful movements, and touching the earth. We will also have a unique opportunity to listen to Thay’s Dharma talks and to practice with Thay and many other Dharma Friends how to come back to ourselves, to nourish our relationships and welcome joy, love, and peace into our daily lives.

As many of you know, our favorite Thich Nhat Hanh retreat takes place at the YMCA of the Rockies, in Estes Park, Colorado. Join the Broward Lotus Sangha for a mindfulness retreat in the majestic natural setting of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, a land truly blessed with beauty and wonderful healing energy, August 21st-26th, 2009. This is usually a family retreat, so people of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend. Besides the group activities that are open to all age groups, the monastic Sangha develops three separate mindfulness tracks specifically designed for adults, teenagers, and little ones so everybody gets a chance to practice. The Broward Lotus Sangha already has a group of Sangha members that is going to attend this treat of a retreat, so join us!

We are making arrangements so that we can travel together as a Sangha, stay together (e.g., share dormitories or other accommodations), and practice together while attending these retreats. PLEASE LET US KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHICH RETREAT(S) FROM THE LIST BELOW YOU ARE INTERESTING IN ATTENDING SO WE CAN MAKE THE APPROPRIATE PREPARATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE SANGHA. Please e-mail your contact information including name(s), e-mail, physical address, and phone numbers to info@BrowardLotusSangha.org. Next year, as more information becomes available, we will contact those who pre-registered with us to provide you with further details about the retreats.
A Lotus Flower For You,
