Online Only: We are now offering this program online only, via Zoom so you may join us remotely. Once registered, you will receive instructions and a Zoom link. We invite you to try this creative form of practice as we navigate the unfolding of the Coronavirus situation. We are continuing to respond by evolving our practices and policies to keep everyone safe and supported, while still serving as a place of refuge and honoring our community’s commitment to the Dharma and sangha.

Description:
On this retreat, you could be meditating in your garden, on your deck or in a safe space in nature, practicing, of course, social distancing. We will learn that we can practice meditation in nature anywhere, even while looking out a window at skies, clouds, birds, and sunlight and receive the power of nature’s blessing. As we practice alone, but together, we will explore potent practices that open the heart and mind to insight, intimacy, and interconnection with all life. We will learn from nature’s wisdom teachings of transience, interdependence, and letting go. We will also see how nature evokes profound peace and calm as well as beautiful qualities of joy, wonder, and love – qualities so essential in these stressful pandemic times.

Given COVID-19 restrictions on gathering, on this nature retreat, you will receive teachings and guided nature meditation practices via periodic instructions delivered throughout the 2 days from Mark via the platform Zoom (accessible via phone or laptop).

PLEASE NOTE: Spirit Rock’s campus in Woodacre is temporarily closed to the public. We encourage you to find the appropriate and safe setting for this retreat while respecting social distancing and park visitation guidelines in your area.
