Practicing Buddhism On a Daily Basis
During this daylong workshop, we will delve into speaking with mindfulness.
The day will include some brief meditation, discussion, and art projects that are aligned with the topic of Right Speech. All are welcome, if you have no experience with Buddhism that is ok too!
Art Projects are fun and easy and great for all ages. This daylong is great for couples, and families, friends or just solo participants!
Our speech affects not only ourselves but also those around us, and focus on how to break the habits of negative or harmful speech and strengthen and practice positive ways of communicating.
Right Speech is a mindfulness practice. By undertaking this practice, we commit to greater awareness of our body, mind, and emotions. Mindfulness makes it possible to recognize what we are about to say before we say it, and thus offers us the freedom to choose when to speak, what to say, and how to say it.
Different kinds of speech create different kinds of results. Using speech in certain ways assures suffering, while speaking in other ways creates happiness. Unskillful speech degrades personal relationships and diminishes the possibility of peace in our world.
About the Instructor
