Not much to pack. Seven Day Silent Retreat. Modest apparel. No bare shoulders or knees showing. Some soap and shampoo, deodorant and sunscreen. Vegeterian cuisine. Up around 5:30ish, main meals done by noonish. Light soup and salad available 5:30ish for the faint of heart. Mostly Meditation and MIndfulness on the menu. No screens, no books. Eyes gazed down, one full week. Fifty participants, yet a solo experience. Looking forward to sharing reflections and insights upon return. https://www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com/blog/2018/5/6/how-can-our-practice-help-during-tragic-times monthly 0.5 2018-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/1525625267519-8ZQXYL5APARPBEZYMUO9/IMG_4486.jpg Blog Posts - How Can Our Practice Help During Tragic Times? In the wake of the recent tragic occurrence, right here in our own beautiful, peaceful city I am awakened to the profound importance of my own practice of mindfulness and meditation. It’s hard to make sense of the abrupt loss of life, the impact on families and friends left to process and carry on, the loss of innocence of a city characterized by harmony, and a window into the suffering heart of those who feel marginalized. I have watched my mind move out, grasping onto the pain, my inclination to crave news feed, my natural habit of creating connection to the stories, making them my stories. I’ve caught myself, hands clenched, jaws locked, brows furrowed, stomach aching. I’ve noticed the ever changing emotions- despair for the senseless loss, profound relief knowing that my Dad was out playing afternoon bridge instead of his usual afternoon walk to Mel Lastman square on a sunny day. I register unfathomable pain for a 7 year-old boy orphaned on his mother’s first day of work trying to make a better life for him. I feel my heart bursting with pride for a city that is characterized by connection and not divisiveness. Each moment, a different heartstring pulled, then released, until the next. If you have already studied Mindfulness and Meditation with me, I hope that you find some refuge in the practice that you have begun. I invite you to sign up for our next series of classes Beyond Beginners, starting Thursday May 31st at either 1 pm. or 7:30 pm. for 5 weeks. We will build our practice and work towards understanding deep insights that will help us to live with greater ease amongst the mud that our city and hearts are enveloped in at this very difficult time. If you know someone whose heart is open to learning Mindfulness and Meditation please forward this to them. I will be starting a new beginner’s series on Tuesday May 29th, 1pm. or 7:30 pm. Ask them to check it out, and contact me through www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com Wishing you many mindful moments, Rhonda https://www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com/mindfulness-meditation-classes-offered daily 0.75 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/41a5d45a-5db8-4585-bc68-baba33ac9bff/+Original+Full+Lotus.png Mindfulness & Meditation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/1519144340686-1EOSU1LF16N90PR3FU4B/Closed+Lotus+final+for+print+copy.jpg Mindfulness & Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/803b0626-8e5f-4001-8c3e-0dd607f6aa89/IMG_3726.jpeg Mindfulness & Meditation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/1519144376322-9SVWDW1LKQGZTJBB20SG/Open+Lotus+Final+for+Print+copy.jpg Mindfulness & Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/78a60fc9-f7f7-441b-85e5-41ac83cba60c/Screenshot+2023-08-19+at+12.10.15+PM.png Mindfulness & Meditation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com/about daily 0.75 2023-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/1554584952718-1R172ZNRLW59MKXX8Z7T/IMG_4132.jpg About Rhonda https://www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com/mindfulness-meditation-class daily 1.0 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/a1ff7820-d98e-4543-8bb0-9d690381d8ac/Pond+Sound+Bowls.jpg About Mindfulness Classes - Welcome To Thornhill Sound Healing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/1556543498406-20T5FBZXAWIECXF243MY/Lotus%2Bmini%2BOriginal%2BGetty%2BImage%2B-500823333.png About Mindfulness Classes https://www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-10-08 https://www.mindfulnessandthelotus.com/thornhill-sound-healing daily 0.75 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/d4da7d79-9308-4d74-bc2c-4ad2710c339b/Lotus+Full+Logo+Updated+.png Thornhill Sound Healing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/f3a2723a-0a5c-4be2-a01a-5f2f63ba398c/Thornhill+Location Thornhill Sound Healing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8b3b7412abd9c29c98e220/6cfe69ea-0f23-4271-8a33-6c0dbc3d2b06/MARCH+SoundHealing.png Thornhill Sound Healing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
