Fayetteville Public Library

Meeting: Art & Movement Room

Join facilitator Anita Purvis to practice meditation and mindfulness!

This series will teach mindfulness through meditation to help you get in touch with your body. Join us as we practice sitting and walking meditation, deep listening and loving speech, and cultivate a community of equanimity, compassion, joy and present-moment awareness! 

According to Plumvillage.org, “Mindfulness is a kind of energy that we generate when we bring our mind back to our body and get in touch with what is going on in the present moment, within us and around us. We can be mindful while standing, walking or lying down; while speaking, listening, working, playing and cooking."

There is a mindfulness teaching and discussion during our weekly meetings. Chairs and mats will be available. Participants are invited to bring their own mat and/or a meditation cushion if desired. 

Anita Purvis enjoys facilitating meditation groups and going on retreats to Magnolia Grove Monastery. She is a Harmony Council member of Dogwood Blossom Sangha, a community of mindfulness practitioners in the tradition of Plum Village which was established by Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
