Welcome!

Coming up in mid-January...a non-residential retreat at the beautiful Nourish Wellness studio on Comox Avenue in Comox, BC.

Remembering and Returning: Mindfulness and Embodiment.

Friday, January 17th, 7 - 9 p.m. and Saturday, January 18th, 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Our practice of mindfulness begins and ends with the body. The Buddha’s teachings encourage us to see the great potential for insight in fearlessly meeting our experience of embodiment, with all the pleasure and pain that implies. Over the course of this retreat, Margo will share stories of the early Buddhist nuns, whose lives demonstrate the many ways that we learn and grow by accepting and caring for this fragile human body. Registration is now open. Please visit this link.
