meditation+qigong in outdoor spaces
Weekday Re-Sets, Half-Day Retreats in Nature
Practicing meditation and qigong outdoors is extremely beneficial for grounding, releasing tension and stress, and balancing and integrating our nervous systems. We can open more deeply to the beauty around us, and accept the invitation to be ever mindful of our deep connection with Mother Earth. We'll practice sitting meditation, walking meditation, and the gentle movements of Qigong, gradually unraveling our stress and gently opening our senses and hearts. And we gratefully support each other's practice, in community.
