Mindfulness Day: This Precious Life

How do I want to live this one precious life?

Once we have found the practice of mindfulness, our life gradually changes.
We start asking ourselves questions: questions about our habits, our relationships, our work, our life. Some of these questions seem to have easy answers, others prove to be more challenging. And one of the strongest habits most of us have, is that we try to answer our questions with our thinking mind.

This day of mindfulness, we will focus our attention on questions around mindfulness and work.
Maybe the way we feel about the work we are doing has changed and we are doubting whether we are still on the right track? Or our work environment is very stressful and we are looking for ways to be less affected by it? Or the way we think about our life has changed and we want our work to be more in line with our current values?

So how do we hold these questions gently in our hearts and create space for the answers to unfold?
Let’s explore this theme together in a lighthearted, playful way!

- Verena Böttcher is a former Wake Up practitioner and current Order of Interbeing-member, who enjoys facing challenges head-on, asking tough questions and dancing with the answers. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and loves the beginner’s mind that new Sangha members bring into the mix, because it helps everyone Wake Up! What she wants most is to create an atmosphere where people feel safe enough to show up as themselves and create conditions together to grow & transform.

We will also have a mindful lunch together. Please bear in mind that in order to keep the price accessible, we ask people to bring their own food for the lunch break. We will eat it as a meditation and introduce the meal with the 5 contemplations from Plum Village.
