Join us for a weekly Day of Mindfulness nestled beside the forest of Reedy Creek Park in the heart of Charlotte. Together we slow down through sitting and walking meditation, mindful somatic movement, song, and shared reflection—indoors and outdoors, weather permitting. Rooted in the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and open to all backgrounds.

What to Expect

• Guided and silent meditation

• Mindful somatic movement

• Mindfulness songs and chanting

• Outdoor mindful walking (weather permitting)

• A teaching, reading, or video on mindfulness

• Group Dharma sharing

• Optional mindful potluck lunch

Practicing Together

Our sangha is a welcoming community of practitioners from many backgrounds. No prior meditation experience is needed. We practice in the Plum Village tradition, with an emphasis on presence, kindness, and shared humanity.

Sample Schedule

• 10:00am–1:00pm: Formal practice

• After 1:00pm: Optional mindful potluck lunch

Please arrive 5–15 minutes early so we can begin together calmly.

If weather does not permit outdoor activities, we will remain indoors.

Offered in the Spirit of Dana

This gathering is offered freely, in the spirit of generosity. There is no expectation to donate. Contributions—financial, food for the potluck, or help with clean-up—support the continuation of this space of practice and refuge for the community.

We look forward to practicing together!
