In these volatile and uncertain times, where so much of our lives are lived virtually, it is vital we stay connected to our own bodies and the body of the earth to access wisdom and perspective.

Opening the senses, the heart, and the mind to the wonder of nature revitalizes and reconnects us to our aliveness. During our time together, we will use nature to cultivate a receptive, embodied quality of attention where states of joy, awe, and wonder will increase your capacity for well-being and inspired action.

  • Guided meditations, integrating awareness of nature within us and around us
  • Sensory-based mindfulness practices that increase aliveness and remind us of our intimacy with all of life
  • Interactive dyad inquiries building mindful presence with each other
  • Deepening inner wisdom through listening to the teachings of the ‘more than human’ world
  • Discussion on cultivating an aware and engaged relationship with the natural world

This retreat draws on mindfulness traditions — the capacity to be present to ourselves, each other and the world around us — to develop a contemplative relationship with nature. We weave in practices found in Mark Coleman’s book, Awake in the Wild, as well as sensory embodiment and positive psychology practices Lori Schwanbeck uses in her clinical work.
