A Day of Mindfulness

Peace is Every Breath

Saturday, June 25, 2011 10am – 3pm

With Dr. Paul Norton

Founding Member: Mindfulness Center of Milwaukee

Do you often find yourself living on ‘auto-pilot’, unable to catch your breath, let alone have a minute’s rest? Does your head sometimes feel like it’s going to burst from being on overload? When you finally get to bed at night is your mind still in high gear?

Then you might benefit from learning how to live more mindfully!

Come and join us in this five (5) hour workshop and learn practical, spiritual skills for creating greater peace in your life. Learn ways to live in the present and be more focused and rested during your busy days.

Dr. Paul Norton will lead us in understanding the ancient tradition of Mindfulness and its power to bring peace and harmony into our lives.

We will be introduced to mindfulness meditation, experience several spiritual practices that we can apply right away, and participate in a sacred tea ceremony that celebrates the unity of all life.

The day is open to all adults regardless of their religious tradition or spiritual path.
