Mindfulness in Nature

Saturday, May 18
9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Triple Tree Ranch Owner’s Center

IN PERSON ONLY

with Anushka Fernandopulle

This day will offer guidance in being mindful in the natural world. When we experience nature with a receptive, embodied awareness, it can be source of solace, clarity and connection. After a morning of instruction on Buddhist practices related to nature and establishing some continuity of mindfulness, we will have extended, silent time outdoors for venturing up the foothills on the Triple Tree trails. Participants are asked to bring lunch and drinks in a day-pack. Water, snacks and tea will be provided.

This day is appropriate for both those new to meditation and practitioners with experience. Please pre-register below. Zoom option will not be available. The retreat will not be recorded.
