Please join us for Honolulu Mindfulness Community's Next Day of Mindfulness!
Saturday, May 2nd from 9am - 3pm
St. Anthony Retreat Center in Kalihi Valley (3351 Kalihi St, Honolulu, HI 96819)
The dayʻs theme is “Solid as a Mountain, Free as a White Cloud." When we are overwhelmed by strong emotions, let us remember our mindful breathing which can anchor us to be as solid as mountains and free as clouds.
Throughout the day, we will practice sitting meditation, walking meditation outdoors, mindful movement, dharma reading and dharma sharing. See the full schedule below. If there is enough interest, we would also love to have a parallel keiki program led by long-time practicing parent and teacher, Laurel!
Please bring:
- brown bag lunch (*note, there is no refrigerator or microwave at the Center)
- water bottle and/or mug for tea
- rain jacket or umbrella
- footwear appropriate for slick/rainy weather

SONG LYRICS
See the Plum Village Songs app for tutorials! Peace Song (to the tune of "Rose") Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace, Wars have been and wars must cease Time has come to learn to live together Peace Peace Peace And When I Rise And when I rise, let me rise, Like a bird, joyfully And when I fall, let me fall, Like a leaf, gracefully When I stand, let me stand, Like a tree, strong and tall, And when I lie, let me lie, Like a lake, reflecting all. When I resist, I will resist, Like the sea, relentlessly. And when I speak, I will speak, like the wind, loud and free |
Dear Friends
Dear friends, dear friends, Let me tell you how I feel. You have given me such treasure, I love you so. Love, joy, inner peace, Like a Sunday morning breeze All my friends are so lovely/joyful/peaceful. I love you so. The Nature Song I am a cloud, I am the blue sky. I am a bird, spreading out its wings. I am a flower, I am the sunshine. I am the earth, receiving a seed. And I am free, when my heart is open. Yes I am free, when my mind is clear. Oh dear siblings, Oh dear siblings, Let’s walk together mindfully / joyfully. |
