Sunday Morning Re-Set + Half-Day Retreats
Practicing meditation 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 Qigong, gradually unraveling our stress and gently opening our senses and hearts. And we gratefully support each other's practice, in community.
Dates:
Retreats - Various Saturdays, 9am-12:30pm
Classes - Various Sundays, 9am-10am
Location: SF Botanical Garden
