Celebrating Thanksgiving

An All-Day or Half-Day of Mindfulness

  With Anh-Huong Nguyen and Thu Nguyen

  November 30, 2019
  8:45AM - 4 PM


at the Mindfulness Practice Center of Fairfax
2709 Hunter Mill Road, Oakton VA 22124



On this Thanksgiving weekend, we come together as a community to practice stopping, resting and calming, so that the energies of gratitude, compassion and loving-kindness become alive in us.  We give thanks to our father and mother who gave us life, to our teachers who gave us spiritual life and showed us how to live in the here and now.  We thank our friends who support us, especially in difficult moments.  And we thank all beings in the animal, vegetable and mineral world for their support.

Please dress comfortably and bring a mat, cushion for the sitting and blanket for the deep relaxation. Some cushions and chairs will be available.

Please bring a vegetarian dish to share at lunch, eating utensils and a plate.

This is an all-day program. You may choose to attend only the half-day program and leave after lunch.

The tuition for an all-day program is $80 ($50 to $70 for those with financial difficulties. Please let us know in advance).

The tuition for a half-day program is $60 ($40 to $50 for those with financial difficulties. Please let us know in advance).

We accept only payments by cash or checks. Credit cards are not accepted at this time.
