A Day for Emotional Mindfulness

Saturday March 30

10 am - 4 pm

Led by Devin Wallace

and Laura Liss

Our emotions are vitally important for our mental and physical wellbeing -- and also for our capacity to act in the world as wise, cooperative and caring human beings. Despite this, we have such little understanding of this enormous emotional realm!

In this one day retreat, we'll take a look at what emotions are and how to manage them more skillfully -- with guidance drawn from Buddhist & Taoist teachings, along with insights from cutting edge neuroscientists.

The retreat will include periods of silent meditation, guided meditation, talks, mindful movement (qi gong & yoga) and discussion.

All interested practitioners are welcome and no prior experience is necessary.

This retreat will be held in person at the White Heron Sangha Meditation Center.

For retreats, participants are required to do a Covid test before attending. Please read the general protocol here.

Pack a lunch. Tea and snacks will be available.

Registration for this retreat is required and space is limited. There is no fee and dāna will be accepted.

Devin Wallace has been teaching qi gong since 2011. He was certified as an instructor by Master Lee Holden and has done additional training with several other leading masters.

Devin's Buddhist practice began at the Eugene (Oregon) Zen Priory in the early 1970's. Since then he has been involved with numerous Buddhist sanghas and has co-founded meditation groups in Oregon, California and Tennessee.

Along with her experience as a psychotherapist, social worker, partner, and mother of three, Laura Liss is a Certified MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) Instructor and Yoga teacher. She has enjoyed teaching MBSR since 2016, as well as various forms of Yoga since 2005 and is devoted to helping people wake up to the moments of life with kindness, curiosity and compassion.

In 2017, Laura began attending retreats and studying Buddhism, and in 2022 she completed the White Heron Sangha Leadership Development Program led by Rosemary Donnell, James Coleman and Mick Malotte. You can visit her website slomindful.com here.
