Sunday, October 18

10:00am - 12:00pm

Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom

​

​Join guest teacher Steve Wilhelm for an interactive exploration of practical ways to bring the Four Foundations of Mindfulness into everyday life. Building on Saturday’s daylong retreat, Steve will explore specific applications of each foundation, with four opportunities for the sangha to share insights from our own experience and deepen our collective understanding. There’s still time to join Saturday’s daylong retreat, but Sunday’s gathering will be valuable whether or not you attend.

Steve has been meditating since 1968 and practicing Buddhism since 1987. A longtime Vipassana practitioner, he teaches at Seattle Insight Meditation Society (SIMS) and has facilitated Eastside Insight Meditation since 2000.
