Eight monastics who practice Mindfulness in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh (who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr) are on a New England Tour and plan to visit Maine the first weekend in October.
They are set to offer a Day of Mindfulness, “Peace in Oneself, Peace in the World,” at the Unitarian Universalist Community Church (69 Winthrop St. in Augusta) from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5. Arrival at 11:15 a.m. is encouraged, but not earlier due to other activities in the space.
Chairs will be provided. Those who intend to join are asked to visit tinyurl.com/2bpyjf9n.
Registration costs a suggested $20 donation, cash or check, to be split equally between the UUCC and Blue Cliff Monastery. Checks can be made out to Peaceful Heart Sangha. Cash is preferred, if possible.
No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
