Nature Connection Circles
Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. - John Muir
Research shows that when we immerse ourselves in nature, our mood improves, our stress and anxiety decrease, the area of the brain associated with depression becomes less active, and we become more attentive and creative. In short, we feel better. When we gather with others to share our stories, we gain insights, make meaningful connections, and we find lost aspects of ourselves reflected back to us. These workshops are part forest bathing, part nature-based, pop-up village rites of passage experiences. Come join us as we plant our feet on this earth and let nature invite us in. Contact Amy to learn about future offerings or interest. Amy is also available for private nature immersion and forest bathing experiences.
Mindfulness Practices Series
You are the sky. Everything else... It’s just the weather. - Pema Chödrön
We know the benefits of a regular meditation practice are many, yet being with ourselves in its simplicity and solitude is astonishingly difficult. In subtle (and not so subtle) ways, we struggle with what is, by avoiding or fighting against what is happening inside ourselves. This 10-week workshop will be a support for establishing, re-establishing, or going deeper into a regular practice by holding the context of being with what arises in our bodies and in our minds as we turn inward. Essential to supporting this endeavor, we will identify, discuss, highlight, and catch moments of presence that can act as the ultimate internal support for sitting and staying with our experience.
