Healthy Acadia to Host Free Virtual Mindfulness Workshop, “Reading Our Buddha Body,” on March 6
Maine – Healthy Acadia invites community members to participate in a free virtual workshop, “Reading Our Buddha Body,” on Thursday, March 6, 2025, from 5 to 6 p.m. via Zoom. The event, part of Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series, will feature special guest Paul Weiss.
The workshop will guide participants in using the natural posture of the sitting body as a "meditation manual" to help connect with wholesome states of being, such as feeling grounded, centered, and open. Attendees will learn techniques to "bookmark" these experiences, making it easier to return to them in daily life.
Paul Weiss began his Zen study and practice in 1966 and has led Zen meditation retreats for over 40 years. He directed The Whole Health Center in Bar Harbor from 1981 to 2023 and is the author of The Dharma of Direct Experience: Non-dual Principles of Living and Moonlight Leaning Against an Old Rail Fence: Approaching the Dharma as Poetry. Weiss now resides in Blue Hill, where he continues to teach and maintain his counseling practice.
