Enough – A day of mindfulness

What need are we fulfilling in making a purchase and how long will the thirst for consumption be quenched? What is enough? Can we ask our higher selves this simple question before each purchase, “Is this needed?” Those questions were at the heart of a daylong event hosted at SHED in Healdsburg, California, with a pop up zendo hosted by SF Zen Center. The days activities included, periods of zazen, kinhin- walking meditation, a ‘Way of Tea’ class, kids origami area, a flower pilgrimage. With dialogue around conscious consumption and mindfulness in technology. This day of community was created with the collaboration of Nancy Petrin, Marcia Lieberman, Jenny Shears-Teixeira, Sara Lonsdale and Tim Kroll.
