For the warrior, invoking external drala is creating harmony in your environment in order to encourage awareness and attention to detail...You may live in a dirt hut with no floor and only one window, but if you regard that space as sacred, if you care for it with your heart and mind, then it will be a palace.
-Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
About the Day Retreat
Feng shui teaches that we are interconnected and interdependent. This includes the spaces that we live in and engage with every day. We are not separate from our homes, our spaces, or the objects and people that surround us. How can we begin to connect to and appreciate our world, and see the beauty in each moment?
In her new book Mindful Homes [CICO 2023], Anjie Cho explains how we can start by paying attention to the details around us. Feng shui and mindfulness can help us to slow down, be more aware, and create spaciousness to give birth to more joy, creativity, and community.
Join us for a day-long retreat and learn simple practices to cultivate a healing living space, including creating intentional spaces, mindfulness meditation, and offering gratitude to deities and to your home itself. We will review the meaning of areas in your homes, how to use a feng shui crystal ball, the art of placement in one’s bedroom, as well as working with the bagua mandala on one’s bed. There will be sitting practice, group discussions, and a mindful walk.
This Mindful Spaces retreat will inspire you to look at your environment with fresh eyes and create a space that enhances happiness and wellbeing to welcome the new year!
