A Day of Mindfulness: Meditation Mini-Retreat

Find your people, Find your practice. We are a place where community and contemplation meet. No more trying to be mindful alone.The Hive exists to develop creative, compassionate, and mindfully-engaged citizens in the Cincinnati region through small group classes and workshops. We have curated a collective of proven teachers, facilitators, and spiritual directors to help guide your learning in mindfulness, contemplation, art and action. We hope you'll try a class and like it enough to become a regular member. Your partnership helps make this nonprofit possible.(As a social enterprise, the Hive shares our story with photos of classes and events.

Based on Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach&#x27;s Power of Awareness work, experience finding freedom and joy in silence. Over the course of the day we will explore Mindful Eating and Drinking, Mindful Movement and Noble Silence. </p><p>Geared towards beginners, there will be information from a Buddhist perspective for anyone with or without meditation experience. </p><p>The retreat will cover some of the basics of mindfulness meditation as shared by Peter in his most recent class, as well as: </p><ul><li>Sitting posture: particularly the biomechanics of how to attain a comfortable sitting position that does not distract from meditation</li><li>Breath: as an anchor, mechanics, and energy of breathing </li><li>Guided mindfulness practice</li><li>Walking meditation instruction and practice</li><li>Mindful movement</li><li>Silent and lightly guided meditation</li><li>Closing ritual dedicating the merits of the practice for the benefit of all beings</li></ul><p>Considered the foundation of mindfulness, the concepts of vipassana (insight) and samatha (tranquility or calmness of mind) will also be explored.</p><p>Peter Dorsa began his journey in meditation in 2001 when he came upon a small book “The Miracle of Mindfulness”, by Thich Nhat Hanh, also known as Thay. In 2007 he had the good fortune to attend a six day silent retreat led by Thay. That was life changing.</p><p>In 2008, life circumstances led him to New York and he had the opportunity to study Tibetan Buddhism at Kagyu Thubten Choling - a traditional Tibetan Monastery.</p><p>In 2013, he relocated to Cincinnati and while looking for a teacher, came upon a program called the Power of Awareness by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Through the course of this program he was led to their Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, which is the basis for this class.</p><h3>Covid Considerations: Masks are currently optional at the Hive.
