Mindfulness and Nature Mini-Retreat

Sunday, Oct 12, 10:30am-3:30pm

Fee: $20 to cover facility rental, plus voluntary donation (optional)

Join us for a day of respite and renewal as we practice self-care in peaceful indoor and outdoor settings. During this five-hour mini-retreat, we will practice slowing down, paying attention to the moment, mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga, connection with nature, and full enjoyment of eating.

The Berkeley Yoga Center, situated in the heart of Strawberry Creek Park, provides an ideal location for our practice, allowing us to easily transition from yoga studio to parkland and back again.
