  • Music and chant
  • Forest bathing—discover how nature can nurture your mind, body and spirit along the wooded trails of the Conservancy for Healing and Heritage
  • Sound bath—a meditative experience focused on deep relaxation using the therapeutic tones of crystal singing bowls

  • “Buddhism and Psychotherapy” (Susan Trafton, EdD)

Virtual Event: Let Your Presence be Your Presents This Holiday Season – Dec. 12, 2026

Presented by Dandelion Acres

DECEMBER 12, 2026, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM
Virtual Event, Register Here

We understand that all of us are experiencing chaotic pressure to be something that we are not. This pressure often has its roots in attempting to fool us into believing that we are somehow inherently broken and the only way to “be enough” is to buy more things, or look a certain way, or to believe that these things can bring you happiness.

This Day of Mindfulness will focus on the practices of being present to ourselves and others. The Day will include a Dharma Talk by brad, creative activities, chanting, Dharma Sharing, Sangha building, silent and guided meditation, and fun. Please visit our website dandelionacres.org to register for this event.

We offer this Day of Mindfulness freely as Dana (generosity donation) only with you donating what you can comfortably and happily can offer to continue to support Dandelion Acres (Suggested amount $20.00 USD).
