What's Happening

April 24, 2021, Adrian, Michigan – Are you open and present to what is happening around you and to yourself? Carol Blotter, teacher of meditation, leads a Virtual Day of Mindfulness, “Mindfully Being Me,” from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT Saturday, May 15, 2021. The program is offered through Weber Retreat and Conference Center.

Mindfulness is a lifestyle, a way of being open to the present and to saying “yes” to what is happening right now. During this day of mindfulness, Carol explores being present to the moment and saying “yes” to being yourself – a practice that is applicable in all situations.

Carol brings her experience from the Quaker tradition, from leading 80 retreats around the United States, and from teaching 100 courses on meditation to spiritual seekers, schools, universities, and medical groups.

The program is offered at no cost, but donations are appreciated.
