When the pressure gets too much and you need to decompress, where do you go? At the Democratic National Convention, a coalition of interfaith groups has created a space for quiet contemplation in a lovely park a short walk from the convention center.
Meditate08 is a joint project of Earthnest Institute and the Insight Meditation Community of Colorado.
We believe there is --or should be -- a place for quiet contemplation at the Democratic National Convention, so we’re conducting a silent meditation retreat at Fishback Landing Park, an easy ten minute walk from the DNC convention site, from Saturday, August 23rd through Thursday, August 28th, 2008, in Denver, Colorado.
We’ve invited forty nationally recognized meditation and yoga teachers from the Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and Native American traditions to guide us in our practice. Come join us, take refuge in the silence, and listen to your heart.
If you are in Denver for the festivities and want a chance to just breathe mindfully and look at the mountains, go check it out.
