REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! (form is below) MorningSun is so happy to offer this retreat for classroom teachers, administrators, social workers, others in the field of education, and basically anyone who works with youth/young people. Our lead facilitators will be Dharma Teachers Richard Brady and Fern Dorresteyn, and Wake Up Schools educator Elena Cardo. We invite you to join these longtime educators and wonderful Dharma Teachers from the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh for this special retreat. (see below for bio details) This is a Wake-Up Schools Level I Retreat. For more information, visit wakeupschools.org (there is a lot of inspiring material available on their site!) AND... This year we will also hold a Completion Ceremony for Wake-Up Level II participants.

For more information and to apply, please email Bobbi at [email protected]. The retreat will offer participants a chance to refresh themselves and cultivate their own personal mindfulness practice as a base for any sharing of mindfulness with others. It will support them to have an experiential understanding of the practices, and develop the language and skills needed to bring the practice back to the communities they serve. They will also learn effective methods to enhance presence and connection with others, attention, kindness, and emotional well-being inside and outside the classroom. The retreat center at MorningSun offers an intimate setting in nature that pleasantly supports our communal practice of mindfulness. The modest retreat size is a precious and powerful opportunity that allows for every participant to have personal contact with facilitators. We are excited to welcome you to our community of practice! Practices during the retreat will include: Sitting and Walking MeditationEating Meditation and Deep RelaxationCircle Sharing, Loving speech & deep listeningBeginning anew (conflict resolution)Stopping, Pausing, and Looking DeeplyBells of Mindfulness in Daily LifeThe retreat will also include: Workshops for sharing mindfulness practice with youthWays to develop mindful communicationInspiration to support mindfulness practice among co-workers and school staffAnd more…Lead Teachers: Richard Brady is a retreat leader, writer, educational consultant, and coordinator of the Wake Up Schools Level II Program in North America.

In 2001, he received lamp transmission from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to be a Dharma teacher in his tradition with a special focus on cultivating mindfulness in young people. Richard has lead retreats and offered workshops for educators in the US, Italy, and Germany. He is an editor of Tuning In: Mindfulness in Teaching and Learning (2009). Other writings are available at www.mindingourlives.net. Fern Dorresteyn is a Dharma teacher in the Plum Village tradition, a founder of the Morning Sun Mindfulness Community, and a mother of three. She lived in Plum Village monasteries for nine years, training in the meditative arts as a nun for seven. While in Plum Village she worked with the Plum Village community and Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh to organize and offer meditation retreats around the world. She has been organizing and leading children’s programs and mindfulness retreats for families in the Plum Village tradition since 1996. In 2006 she completed a training at Sophia’s Hearth Family Center for caring for young children and families. Elena Cardo is a public school teacher and retreat leader who began practicing mindfulness in the Plum Village tradition in 1998. A high school art teacher for 25 years, Elena has infused mindfulness into her classroom, and ultimately into her school. Since creating a mindfulness room where students and staff are invited to breathe, Elena has taught Mindfulness classes to students and offers professional development workshops to teachers and staff.Now a Wake Up Schools Level II facilitator, Elena has led retreats and workshops for educators.
