Garden Medtiation: Resting Tree Mindfulness
Celebrate the beauty of Goodell Gardens as we spend time noticing what lessons nature can teach us. Richard Gosnell, Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide, will lead the group in practicing some basic tools of mindfulness and meditation as we work to reconnect with the more than human world. When performed repeatedly, these practices help you to quiet your mind by encouraging a deeper connection with the outdoors; relaxing an overactive mind; and enhancing greater sensitivity to the patterns of nature. Meet at the events barn. If it is not raining, we will proceed to the garden. Bring something light to sit on. If it is raining, we will stay in the event barn.
Members: $12/session Non-members: $15/session
