Held by the cliffs, gardens, and vast Pacific horizon, this workshop invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and remember your belonging to the living world. Through guided outdoor meditations and embodied awareness, you’ll reconnect with nature as teacher and mirror, discovering joy, wisdom, and wonder along the way. Come ready to breathe deeply, listen wholeheartedly, and be restored by the beauty that surrounds you.
