Wow, this year’s Mindful Knitting Retreat in Vermont’s North East Kingdom was WONDERFUL. The biggest yet – we filled every bed in The Highland Lodge. What a blast. One of our participants - Atomic Knits - did a much better job blogging than I ever could – check out Atomic Knits post here.
And – as a refresher, or intro, I thought I’d pop this up here today.
In this less than five minute video, The Sakyong, Mipham Rinpoche, the head of the Shambhala Buddhist Lineage, teaches us the basics Mindfulness Meditation. Have a look. Perhaps consider watching this as you get started on your ten minutes of meditation a day (just like brushing your teeth – right Eric?!)
Enjoy – Happy Spring, Cheerful Knitting, Peaceful Meditations. – Tara

Hi there….I am new to your website…but
I have to say that I find the concept fascinating. I do not knit although I do crochet… A LOT!!! I go to yoga class three times a week and I am trying to incorporate crochet, (or any stitching) and yoga together.
I think what you do is wonderful!
(By the way…I am about 15 mins from Karme Choling and Milarepa in Barnet VT.)
Thanks again…
