Hortense Miller Garden hosts free retreat: Meditating in the Garden on September 14
A free three-hour mindfulness meditation retreat will be held at Hortense Miller Garden on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9:45 a.m.-1 p.m. It will be led by Lori Kahn who has more than 20 years of experience in study, practice and teaching Mindfulness Meditation. Although the workshop is free, donations are gratefully accepted.
The Hortense Miller Gardens is the perfect environment to practice Mindfulness Meditation, as the quiet beauty lends itself naturally to feeling calm and peaceful. The gardens offer more than a dozen hillside trails and 2.5 acres of hundreds of varieties of plants and trees.

Mindfulness Meditation can deepen our experience and appreciation of the environment, manage the chatter of inner dialogue that can cause distractions and stress, and develop a deeper connection with the natural sense of peace that exists both outside of our surroundings and within ourselves.
Mindfulness Meditation is developing awareness of breath and senses. Meditating with the senses includes smell, taste, sight, sound and body sensations.
Workshop attendees must register in advance to participate, so contact Diane Lannon at diane.lannon@gmail.com.
