Sometimes we get lucky. Some of you know the story about how I came into contact with Thich Nhat Hanh and his Monks. By chance I picked up a book, “Creating True Peace: Ending the Violence in Yourself, Your Family, Your Community and the World.” As I was reading it I thought to myself, this guy really gets it. It was 2017 and I was doing a 10 month internship at a Botanical Garden. As chance would have it Blue Cliff Monastery was just starting up, an hour away, and a 5 day retreat was scheduled for October of that year. With some hesitation I attended and was pleasantly surprised. I have maintained contact with them since then and have learned more than I ever would have in any college program graduate or otherwise. Though I do not consider myself a Buddhist I have found the way in which they practice mindfulness extremely helpful both personally and professionally.
Walking meditation is a lot of fun and great for people who have trouble sitting still: Give it a try. https://www.lionsroar.com/how-to-meditate-thich-nhat-hanh-on-walking-meditation/?fbclid=IwAR3KhCQiDgPYlVMrMAg3CogNQ0kW_7i4eIH9JAd9KhMPa7-TFvd_Pxm_ynU
