Beginners Mind is a Zen concept which encourages us to participate in
our moments as a beginner; dropping mental commentary and chatter and
entering our experience with curiosity and openness.
Morning mindful movement: Tai Chi and Qi Gong, guided
meditation practice, expressive writing and well-body treatments amidst
the splendor of the Sierras will help you re-connect with your inner
child essence.
