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.
Do you ever feel like you’re setting New Year’s resolutions every year with the best of intentions? Only to see your big plans fall by the wayside within a few weeks? That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about an extraordinary online event called The Best Year of Your Life Summit, and I want to invite you to attend for FREE. Why is it called “The Best Year of Your Life” Summit? Because it’s designed to get rid of the blocks that have been holding you back so you can have the transformative 2024 you deserve.
The Heart of Nature Summit is a call to embrace the transformative power of the heart in healing ourselves and our world. It's an invitation to explore how living in harmony with nature and leading with the heart can usher in profound changes in our lives and the global community. Join me along with Jane Fonda, Marianne Williamson, Tara Brach, Paul Hawken, Louie Schwartzberg, Peter Coyote, "V" (Eve Ensler), Michael Yellow Bird, Lynne Twist, Nina Simons, Valerie Mason-John, Daniel Siegel and many more for this 7-day journey.
This online follow-up class to the Freeing Yourself from the Inner Critic daylong retreat at Spirit Rock is a touchstone to check in about the practices learned on retreat and build on new practices. There will be a Q&A with Mark to ask your questions about working with the inner critic.
In this silent meditation retreat, we will explore this innate quality of awareness – what it is, how to recognize it, and how to cultivate and nurture it. We will investigate how moment-to-moment continuity of mindfulness builds concentration, which in turn supports a depth of awareness.
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.
Mark will be leading the first webinar session of the "Meditation and Psychotherapy: Learning from Nature" course on April 4 and talking about "Mindfulness in Nature Practice - Pathways to Wonder, Wisdom, and Well-Being". The talk will be followed by a discussion and Q&A session.
This April, meditation teacher Mark Coleman will offer a rich variety of mindfulness in nature practices. During the program, you will discover how taking your meditation outdoors invites a natural, embodied, awake presence. Nature practice not only attunes us to the beauty, wonder, and mystery of the natural world, but awakens wisdom into inter-dependence, impermanence, and the selfless nature of experience. It also supports resilience, restoration, and renewal, key qualities especially needed at this time.
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.
Millions of people suffer daily with conditions associated with executive function challenges. Though commonly referred to as ADHD, these symptoms are often exacerbated by our complex, fast-paced, high-tech lives. Such conditions often leave people with a sense of self-doubt, shame, or unworthiness.
The good news is that with mindfulness, compassion, and with the application of skillful techniques, it is possible to understand and function more effectively with care and wisdom. Over the course of this half-day retreat we’ll explore navigating these challenges, how they interrupt our functioning, and how we can meet ourselves with wisdom, forgiveness and self-compassion.
