discussion. When there is a fifth Sunday in the<br />
month, we have special events such as <strong>Mindfulness</strong><br />
Days, Family Days, or potlucks and<br />
planning meetings.<br />
A spirit of peaceful intimacy prevailed at<br />
our fall retreat, "Finding a Place of Rest," with<br />
Eileen Kiera. We met in a beautiful spot,<br />
where high table lands are cut through by deep<br />
valleys, offering wonderful bluffs for walking<br />
meditation. We discussed the Sutra on the<br />
Four Establishments of <strong>Mindfulness</strong>, and<br />
Eileen expanded on the theme of joyfulness<br />
during her inspiring Dharma talks.<br />
