more detail about this series:
Dedicating oneself to a nature practice is not only about calming the nervous system and engaging in mindfulness, but also about connecting to the animated spirit of the land, the spirit of community, and the very personal spirit that is housed inside your sacred human body.
You do not have to have experience or confidence in this realm to attend this series. This is a container for learning and growing, and experiencing the support of a community who is also attempting to do the same. The skills & abilities you need to presence deeply in nature are already inside of you; we are simply giving them space to be coaxed out.
In this series, we will be engaging in guided forms of walking and sitting meditation. We will be using the words of wise & beloved animist authors to journal, presence, co-contemplate, and root deeper. We will be connecting through meaningful & heart-centered question prompts with circle-mates. We will be greeting the elements around us. We will feel into interconnectedness and interbeing. We will get to know chosen plants.
logistics:
See below for dates, times, payment, and signup. We will have a cabin with a wood-burning stove in Rock Point as a refuge from the elements where we can engage in practices that require bodily stillness. Each session, we will also be walking outside, practicing with the woods and meadows.
next steps:
If this practice is calling to you, please schedule a forest circles clarity call (15 min) so we can confirm we are in alignment, and make sure we are building the intentional community of practice that we seek. Then, you may sign up & receive the final steps.

I know life gets in the way, and this is many Saturdays! I want to offer the opportunity for a true practice to set in. That being said, it is completely understood that folks will need to miss some. I recommend missing no more than 3.
I will be providing an original animist guided meditation practice in collaboration with a local musician to supplement the weeks you miss.

No, we will be walking outside, in the forest and meadows, for at least half of the time. The cabin is a warm refuge for winter months.
