Founding Teacher, Marianne Rowe, leads this special meditation, inviting you to be in a place where you can access a natural setting. Engaging the senses is the key to being present. When we are conscious of hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling -- sensing -- something, attention is on what is happening in this moment. This meditation offers guidance for coming alive to what is happening in by attuning to the living earth.

🌿 "Being Outdoors: Sensing the Sacred" is an online course that invites you to cross the threshold to a new way of being in relationship with the living Earth.

"Being Outdoors: Sensing the Sacred." Whether you live in a city, town or rural environment, all you need is some kind of "Outside" to participate in this fully-online program. Is it your porch? Your back yard? Perhaps an open window? ... or off to the Forest, River or Ocean.

With online offerings of guided group meditation and discussion, invitations for individual nature immersion experiences, and resources for continued mindful practice, this program seeks to bring us together and help us re-discover our connection with ourselves, each other and the living Earth during this time of physical distancing.

Join us for Emergent Dialogue, starting Feb. 10. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/emergent-dialogue-practice-sessions-feb-april-2024-series-registration-771229717847?aff=oddtdtcreator

How do we embody being aware and kind when so much is painful and scary? How can we respond rather than react?

Join us beginning February 20. Register at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eye-of-the-hurricane-conscious-relationship-with-personal-global-change-registration-775775113247?aff=oddtdtcreator
