EVENT FULL Mindful Naturalists: Hiking Meditation

Saturday, Jan 23, 2021

2:30pm – 4:00pm

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

Walking meditation + hiking = hiking meditation! When we intentionally hike in a meditative way, we learn to tune into our experiences out on the trail. We will hike in relative silence, paying more attention than usual to our movement through the forests and fields, step by step. Join us as we explore the connection between our bodies, our breath, and the earth.

Mindful Naturalists is a free program series created to inspire mindful observation and nature appreciation. Each month we will explore a new topic and experiment with different practices to mindfully experience the natural world while enjoying a peaceful afternoon at our beautiful field station. No meditation experience needed!

Cost: Free!
