Join Retreat House Spirituality Center and Seneca KAMIR Alma for a storytelling experience on the front lawn of Retreat House on Sunday, October 24 from 4 - 5:30 p.m.
What to expect?
Live music and storytelling from 4 - 4:30 p.m.
Guided yoga meditation from 4:30 - 5 p.m.
Bring your own yoga mat!
Bring a blanket or chair if you wish to sit during the performance (or use your yoga mat).
The art room will be open for participants desiring to explore the narrative of Seneca’s story and their own through drawing, painting or sketching.
Our outside labyrinth will also be available for those desiring to engage in this spiritual practice as a chance to explore both inner and outer worlds.
Weather permitting, we will offer this event both in-person as well as broadcast LIVE via ZOOM and on Facebook LIVE.
KMIR will tell the story of his journey through real-life incarceration, soul searching and personal redemption . His performance, combined with live music, will challenge you to think, inspire you to believe in the power of love, imagination and the human spirit. Together, we’ll explore self-compassion as well as compassion for others and the world around us.
Participants will be invited to transition into a yoga meditation lead by KMIR, an embodied practice he developed and used during his time in prison.
Do you plan to attend in person* or virtually? Send us a note to let us know!
*For those joining this event at Retreat House, light snacks and drinks will be provided.
