Eco-Mindfulness and Forest Wisdom

Eco-Mindfulness and Forest Wisdom – Monthly 3-Part Series
Saturdays June 14th, July 19th, and August 16th
10:00 am – 11:45 am

Come join us this Summer as we immerse ourselves in nature and practice mindfulness together. These classes will weave together nature-inspired guided sitting meditation, sensory activities exploring the forests and meadows at PERT, and poetry/readings from past and present authors who share their wisdom of the forest, as they encourage us to find our own wisdom and healing in the forest around us. There will be ample time for discussion and reflection.

Please bring a chair or mat (for the outdoors) that is comfortable for you. We will meet indoors if there is inclement weather. This program is limited to 12 participants. No previous experience necessary. Cost is $75 for Members. $90 for Non-members. Registration for all three sessions preferred, but individual session sign-up is available.
