Mindfulness On and Off the Cushion: Your Life as Practice

Mindfulness On and Off the Cushion: Your Life as Practice is a meditation retreat at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Its title points to the heart of the program: mindfulness practiced in formal sitting meditation and carried into the rest of daily life, so that ordinary activity becomes part of the path rather than something separate from it.

The retreat takes place at Drala Mountain Center, a retreat center in the mountains of northern Colorado that hosts programs across the Buddhist path, meditation and mindfulness, creative expression, yoga and wellness, and the natural world. Anyone drawn to mindfulness meditation, whether to deepen a sitting practice or to bring more awareness into work, relationships and everyday routines, will find the theme speaks to them.
