The monks who recently completed a 2300 mile walk for peace said that carrying the vibe forward is up to us, peace practice isn’t always comfortable, and practicing moment by moment is the way … Embark on an inner journey experience with mindfulness practice in sitting, walking, eating — every "now" moment. Take time for reflection via journaling while enjoying the silence. Peace begins within … settle into a day for your soul …Inviting Gentle Awareness - A Day of Practice

Facilitator: Grace Wood
Grace began attending Thích Nhất Hạnh’s retreats in the early 90’s resulting in an intermittent practice. Retreats and workshops, such as Harvard’s Spirit in Action, book studies, and being part of communities of practice, are vital for her. There is no “one and done.” The Inviting Gentle Awareness Retreat Day at Unity of Roanoke Valley supports us all in our personal and evolving peace practice.
