Aslan Institute hosts a half-day meditation retreat from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., on November 26, at their Eagan location.

Half-day Mindfulness Meditation Retreats feature both sitting and walking meditation as well as instructional, supportive teaching and discussion about meditation and contemplative spiritual practice. Participants have the option to meet one-on-one with an experienced meditation teacher for support and guidance.

All are welcome to attend these brief immersions in a meditative setting. Those with meditation and retreat experience will testify to the power of silence and stillness to help quiet the mind and open the heart. Time is allowed at the beginning and end of meditation offerings for questions and discussion. Attendees are advised to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Tea is provided. No previous meditation experience required; meditators of all levels and all faith traditions are invited. Beginners are especially encouraged to attend.

Half-day retreats are bi-monthly at Aslan. Check website calendar for days, times and schedule updates.

Cost: $35. Location: 4141 Old Sibley Memorial Hwy., Eagan. For more information, call Bussho, 612-871-5631, email [email protected] or visit AslanInst.com.
