- **Event Description**: Now, more than ever before, we need to sense ourselves in community, coming together to support, assist, and inspire each other.About this EventForest Bathing at Rip Van Winkle Open SpaceAh-h-h! The middle of summer … What a perfect time for Forest Bathing in a (likely-to-be) cooled-by-the-fog grove of oaks and pines! … and it’s even-better when engaged in Community!“Community is a place where the connections felt in our hearts make themselves known in the bonds between people, and where the tuggings and pullings of those bonds keep opening our hearts.” – Parker J. PalmerSpending slow-moving, contemplative time in the forest feels, in many ways, like coming home to a peaceful place inside the heart. The practice of shinrin-yoku (“Forest Bathing”) is a form of guided walking meditation, an “immersion” into the space of trees, plants and inhabitants of the forest.Now, more than ever before, we need to sense ourselves as Community, coming together to support, assist, and inspire each other as we, along with every living being on Earth, face and meet the change, uncertainty, loss, and growth of being alive. Holding paradox, not knowing, letting go, experiencing miracles, sensing deeper values, appreciating beauty, being with heartbreak … are all part of our daily lives. This is what it is to be living in a time of global transformation. For those of us who live near-enough to the Monterey Peninsula, let’s get together.For those who are geographically too far to come-over, just send your name and where-you-are to Marianne (marianne@montereybaymeditation.com), and we’ll take you with us on our walk in the woods.Teacher: Marianne RoweRip Van Winkle Open SpaceSunday, July 191:00 - 3:00 PM PacificDonationAround me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.”The light flows from their branches.And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this,to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.– Mary Oliverhttps://youtu.be/p5w0kXrVOyI?si=kikGEGKANoJjpl8O
