Retreat Talk #1: Coming Home to the Body, with Lynn Teo

This is the first talk of a weeklong retreat in 2026.  

Lynn Teo starts by exploring various ways to resource the nervous system to support the capacity to be present to the moment's direct experience. 

Then, we investigate what mindfulness is and how mindfulness of the body supports present moment awareness.
