On December 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a silent meditation retreat will be held at Terry Mindfulness Center in Vero Beach.

The group will meditate for 35 minutes and break for 25 minutes. “This retreat may be challenging for some, relaxing for others and renewing for all,” says Lisa Terry. “Sitting with a group generally feels more comfortable. Many might experience a renewed commitment to their meditation practice, deep acceptance, calmness and patience.”

Attendees should wear comfortable clothing, bring pillow(s) to sit on and any desired food or drink. A journal is recommended to record thoughts and experiences. Hot and cold water, as well as an assortment of tea, will be provided. During breaks participants may engage in journal writing, snacking, stretching, walking, or whatever they would like to do, except using electronics or communicating with others. Participants are not required to stay the entire day, but are encouraged to do so.

Terry Mindfulness Center, 333 17^th St, Suite 2T, Vero Beach. Cost for the retreat is a donation of $30 or more. Please RSVP by calling 772-564-0406 or emailing Lisa Terry at [email protected]. Space is limited to 14 meditators. TerryMindfulness.com
