DAY of MINDFULNESS (DoM)

Join the monastics of Stream Entering Monastery for a relaxing and rejuvenating Day of Mindfulness - a day in which we come back home to ourselves, relax, and cultivate the energy of mindfulness together as a community.


Each Sunday is different - typically we begin at 9:15am with singing Dharma songs together, followed by Walking Meditation, Dharma Talk or Precept Recitation, Dharma Discussion, a vegetarian Mindful Lunch, and occasional Afternoon Activity (e.g. Total Relaxation). 

​

The 1st Sunday of the month we will recite the 14 Mindfulness Trainings, the 3rd Sunday of the Month we usually recite the Five Mindfulness Trainings.

​

Please check the Calendar of Events and register to attend. Note that sometimes the monastery is closed for silent retreat.
