This Earth Day gathering will be a time to connect with each other in community to share our love and care for the Earth, feel any grief or other strong responses to the climate situation, and learn how to move through stuck places into inspiring action.
What important lessons does nature have to teach us?
How do we connect with the healing power of the natural world?
How do we love the Earth, draw inspiration from its beauty and protect it in times of crisis?
In response to these timely questions Mark Coleman of Awake in the Wild and Eric Forbis of Wisdom for Life are bringing you this inspiring conference on nature and our relationship to it.

In the Mindfulness-Based Nature Connection Course, participants will explore accessible and powerful meditation practices all while immersed in the beauty of nature. Each week, we will take our meditation practice outside as a way to deepen our awareness of the natural world and cultivate a natural, mindful attention that can help open our hearts to delight, wisdom, and awe.
Led by Mark Coleman and based on his book, Awake in the Wild, this is a Vipassana meditation retreat and sea kayaking trip in the pristine wilderness of the Sea of Cortez. The retreat will be mostly in silence to support the meditative process, and there will be several periods of meditation daily as well as time for discussion, talks on the themes of meditation in nature, talking circles and opportunities for one to one work with the Mark Coleman. There will also be free time to paddle, swim, snorkel and enjoy this spectacular setting.
These online meditations will be a support for all those who like to be in nature and feel the support of the natural world for our practice and to help calm and relax our body, mind and heart.
In this session we will explore how the natural world is not only a place to develop resilience in stressful times but also a profound source of wisdom, joy and equanimity, which are essential qualities that can nourish us when the world around us is in upheaval.
