Kings Mountain Preserve Retreat Info and Registration:
Date: Friday, November 4th, 2022
Time: 10:00AM - 12:45PM
Location: Kings Mountain Preserve Conservation Burial Ground, 321 Indian Springs Road, Blacksburg, SC 29702
The Charlotte Center for Mindfulness (CCM) invites you to learn more about green burial and practice mindful contemplation of end of life. We live in what has been called a "death denying culture" and need space to re-invite skillful consideration of all parts of life - including our death. We will have time to reflect on the impermanence, and therefore precious nature, of our lives, have a self-guided mindful walk through the beautiful green burial lands of the Preserve, private journaling, and finish with community sharing and a meal together. We will be able to accommodate up to 45 participants for this retreat.
