Three Steps to Mindful Eating - Retreat

  • Friday, March 17, 2017
  • 2:00 PM
  • Sunday, March 19, 2017
  • 3:00 PM
  • Aryaloka Buddhist Center, Newmarket, NH, USA

The three steps include checking in, noticing aspects of our experience, and bringing kindness to whatever arises. These three steps can transform any meal into something that goes beyond the nutrients on the plate. The act of eating mindfully can change neural pathways, allowing new behaviors to emerge.


This weekend retreat will also discuss three common obstacles to mindfulness and mindful eating and three helpful tools to overcome them.


The retreat is open to anyone interested in cultivating mindfulness in daily life, or around food and eating in particular. Some prior experience of mindfulness meditation is helpful but not necessary for participation.
