Mindfulness in Nature –3 Part Class Series (Saturdays: Sept 14, Nov 2, Nov 16) 10:15 AM to 12:00 PM

Come join us this Fall for the Mindfulness in Nature class series as we reconnect with ourselves and our natural surroundings. Through exploration of some of the key tenets of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and nature-based sensory activities, we will learn to cultivate the present moment as a means of connecting with both our inner selves and the environment around us. The classes will integrate techniques, such as guided sitting and walking meditation and breathing techniques with sensory activities in Nature, and include time for reflection and discussion, as we grow together. In this series, we will explore in greater depth how mindfulness meditation can help us turn towards our emotions and body sensations, how self-compassion is an integral component of mindfulness practice, and we will develop practices of gratitude and compassionate listening. While delving into each of the above, the classes will help participants discover how Nature can serve to both comfort and heal us. Please bring a mat, pillow, or chair to sit on (outside) for short meditations and discussion. In the event of inclement weather, we will meet indoors.

This program is limited to 12 participants. No previous experience necessary. Cost is $75 for Members. $90 for Non-members. Registration for all three sessions preferred, but individual session sign-up is available.
