The monks and nuns of Blue Cliff Monastery will host their annual Day of Mindfulness on Saturday, November 3, from 10am to 4pm, at Wainwright House. Located in Rye, NY on the Long Island Sound, Wainwright offers lovely gardens and wonderful views of the water.  Listen to a live teaching by the Dharma teachers of Blue Cliff.  Enjoy seated and walking meditation, mindful eating, and a discussion of the practice of mindfulness in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.   Connect with your spiritual roots; enjoy deep relaxation, dharma sharing (mindful discussion) and singing.   All are welcome to join. No experience necessary.  We will enjoy a fragrance-free, smoke-free, and alcohol-free environment.
