WHY MEDITATE OUTSIDE?
Decades of research show that both nature and mindfulness, on their own, are incredibly healing and inspiring. Weave them together with intention and creativity, and we have a powerful medicine for personal growth, transformation, and inspiration for action. Through the practices of Natural Mindfulness, we can begin to heal the painful sense of isolation, anxiety, and disconnection that many of us feel. We can restore that crucial sense of belonging and connection – both within ourselves, to each other, and with the natural world. From this place of connection, we are naturally inspired to care for all life, within us and around us. π±π§ββοΈπ

RESPONSE TO COVID-19:
We will continue to monitor and adhere to the Oregon Health Authority guidelines for group gatherings and events. At this time, masks and social distancing will be OPTIONAL. No testing or vaccination is required to attend our events.
Even though the severity has lessened, we understand that Covid-19 remains an ongoing concern in our communities, especially for those who are immunocompromised. As a matter of course, we will continue to require that anyone experiencing SARS-CoV-2-like symptoms (that started less than 10 days prior to the immersion) refrain from attending and will be refunded in full. This can be overcome with a negative SARS-CoV-2 test or a positive T-cell antibody test.
Please let us know if you have special requests or needs to be able to feel safer and more comfortable at these events. Thank you for caring for yourself and others. Deep gratitude π
