The Enlightened Living Day this year is dedicated to practice of the Five Spiritual Faculties: Energy, Wisdom, Faith, Meditation, and Mindfulness. There is a dynamic relationship among these aspects of spiritual life which we will experience through the day's activities. The day will begin with a short talk on the Five Spiritual Faculties, followed by yoga, meditation and Dharma discussion (energy, meditation, wisdom). After a vegetarian lunch, prepared and shared in mindful silence, we will have time to share personal stories (wisdom, faith). The day concludes with chanting and a Sevenfold Puja (Buddhist devotional verses, an expression of faith).

The intent of the day is to move mindfully from one activity to the next throughout the day. Working with all of the Five Spiritual Faculties will have an integrating effect, drawing all our energies together toward a feeling of spiritual wholeness.

Newcomers and old friends alike are welcome for this easy-going day of practice and shared mindfulness.
