Family Fridays: Mindful Outdoor Experience

Description

This experience includes a short introduction to the land in order to foster a sense of appreciation, curiosity and gratitude for place. It is followed by a series of steps to invite participants into the present moment. We awaken the senses and transition to a relaxed state of being by walking with awareness, noticing sensations in relationship to the land and elements, and “nature meditations," where participants are invited to sit and observe movement and stillness on the land. We conclude with a voluntary group sharing of our individual experiences. No previous hiking experience is necessary. Walks are less than one a mile in length but do include a brief sit spot to meditate mindfully on your natural surroundings. Learn the Fox Walk, Owl Eyes, and Deer Ears and enjoy experiencing Nature with new appreciation. To learn more and register, visit https://bbgardens.org/mindful-outdoor-experience.php
