Gratitude and Forgiveness Meditation Retreat

“Gratitude is thankfulness taken to the next level” says Betsy Henry, a.k.a. Zen Mama. In this day combining silent practice with group discussion, the group will begin and end by cultivating gratitude in the context of our awareness practice. In between, we will use guided meditations developed by Dennis Warren to move through forgiveness for ourselves and others. This practice allows us to be fully human and to let go of old holding patterns. We may even find a way to be grateful for past hurts.

This retreat is lead by Sacramento Insight Meditation’s Community Teacher Rich Howard. Please bring your lunch and dress in layers for outside walking.

Rich Howard has been an active practitioner and volunteer at SIM since 2004. His area of interest is bringing meditative awareness into everyday life. He participated in SIM’s 2007 India Pilgrimage and is a graduate of SIM’s second Practice Development and Leadership (PDL) program.
