Listen and HEAR at the Yoga Mindfulness Retreat

Listening and HEARING
One of the basic principles of mindfulness is practicing listening to HEAR.  One activity for the day of the retreat is spending 5 minutes in a dyad (with a partner), preferably someone you do not know personally.  A will speak, B will listen to hear.  Then you will swap places and B will speak as A listens.  The person listening will not speak during the listening period.
At previous retreats, this practice has been one of the favorite activities.  For some, the speaking was easy - it was the listening without speaking yet paying close attention and HEARING that was challenging.  Don't worry, you won't be tested.  Only you will know what happened and what you learned about LISTENING and HEARING unless you choose to discuss it later.

It's all about MINDFULNESS.
ONE space left on Saturday, Sunday is filled.
