NYZ: NADA in the Zendo

We are all experiencing the overwhelming chaos of the world we live in. The common ground between us all can be experienced and shared through non-verbal communication. Please join us for this special event to receive the benefits of meditation and acupuncture and connect with your inner peace.

Zazen (meditation) and Auricular Acupuncture join forces to offer participants the opportunity to deepen awareness in silence and in community. In this afternoon retreat we will meditate together for 30 minutes with the NADA Auricular Acupuncture Protocol to relax the nervous system. Afterward, tea and open discussion provide a space to share and reflect on the experience.

The NADA Protocol is a non-verbal approach to healing.

NADA involves the gentle placement of up to five small, sterilized disposable needles into specific sites on each ear. Benefits include:

• • • • • Reduced cravings for alcohol and drugs, including nicotine
        • Minimized withdrawal symptoms
        • Increased calmness, better sleep, and less agitation
        • Relief from stress and emotional trauma
        • An easier connection with counseling
        • A discovery of inner quiet and strength
