lawyer meditation retreat
I received an e-mail announcing that the Spirit Rock Meditation Center near San Francisco, CA will hold a retreat from November 18-21 for lawyers and other professionals in the legal arena who want to learn to meditate. The promotional material states: “This retreat will bring together members of the Bay Area legal community, local legal scholars and clinicians, judges, and mediators to learn and practice meditation together. Meditation can provide a practical tool for busy legal professionals to quiet the mind, enhance clarity and awareness, and restore a more peaceful balance to their lives.” I’ve studied and practiced meditation for over 20 years and it’s been indispensable in helping me stay grounded, focused and content in my work as a lawyer and in my personal/family life. I find that even a few minutes of meditation a day can be enough to de-stress and recharge me.
