January 8, 2024, Adrian, Michigan – Do you hope to start the new year with greater mindfulness and peace? You are invited to join the mindfulness community at Weber Retreat and Conference Center, which gathers monthly to deepen participants’ understanding and commitment to mindfulness.

Sessions are held on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at Weber Center and are facilitated by Sister Esther Kennedy, OP, a Dominican Sister of Adrian, retreat leader, and spiritual director. 

Upcoming sessions are as follows:

• January 27, 2024, Now – The Only Moment. The present moment is the best of what life has to offer. Mindfulness helps us experience the present moment –pleasant or painful – with an open and tender heart.
• CANCELLED: March 2, 2024, Learning to Be Honest. The point of mindfulness is returning to the present moment and to what is occurring within your mind. One can learn to be gentle and to love whatever energy arises.
• April 6, 2024, Trust in Your Goodness. Sometimes, you might judge yourself endlessly and even harshly. Are you open to considering that within you lies all the creativity, possibility, forgiveness, and understanding you need to live well?

Each session is limited to 30 participants. The cost is $35 per session, which includes lunch. Registration is required and available at www.webercenter.org; click “programs.” Registration may also be made by calling 517-266-4000 or emailing [email protected].
