Both naturalists and meditators rely on advanced skills in observation and mindfulness. Learn the foundations of these skills and then explore how to use them. In Buddhist perceptual theory, we explore what is called the “crucial point”, the essential reason we develop meditative concentration, and we take a deep dive into uncovering how that crucial point begins to affect our well-being. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/046c5090-a3b9-11f0-a8ce-3d4453caf707-rimg-w988-h740-dc8e8d92-gmir.jpg Details:Leaders: Will Duncan & Tom FleischnerWhat: One-day experiential workshop connecting the practice of mindfulness and meditation with the practice of natural historyWhere: Skull Valley Lavender Farm, Skull Valley, ArizonaWhen: Sunday, November 2nd, 2025Time: 10:00 am - 4:00 pmCost: $87 per person10% for Nature Guardian Members https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/04e3ca80-a3b9-11f0-978d-7b77366a9a42-rimg-w987-h740-dc161416-gmir.jpg Tenative Schedule:09:45- 10:00 Arrival / Tea Time10:00-10:15 Introductions10:15-11:30 Why, What, and How of Mindfulness and Meditation11:30-11:45 Break11:45-12:30 Why, What, and How of Natural History12:30-1:00 Lunch*1:00-2:30 Natural History in Practice2:30-3:15 Meditation and Mindfulness in the Field3:15-4:00 Concluding Conversation and Sharing*Participants are responsible for their own lunch, which is not included as part of the program. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/056a1180-a3b9-11f0-978d-7b77366a9a42-rimg-w1070-h740-dc342b19-gmir.jpg Will Duncan has taught throughout the world including Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, South America and throughout the United States.
