A Yearlong Immersion
Starts February 1st, 2025
A Community Invitation
Through 52 engaging weekly practices, you will (learn to) meditate in a variety of nature landscapes in all kinds of weather with confidence and clarity. This yearlong meditation practice is supported by Mark Coleman’s A Field Guide to Nature Meditation which will serve as our “guide-book” for the practice. Mark will provide guidance by email each month as to which weekly meditations we will be practicing throughout that month. We will focus on practicing one of the 52 meditations each week, as presented in this Field Guide, as an integral part of the yearlong commitment to nature meditation.
Throughout the year, you are invited to submit questions and observations about your practice. A monthly Q&A session will be held by a certified Awake in the Wild meditation teacher. As you practice these meditations, you are encouraged to connect with other members of the community by sharing photos and reflections about your nature based meditation experience in our dedicated Facebook group (optional). This yearlong meditation immersion is a support for enriching and clarifying your nature-based meditation practice as well as helping cultivate a meaningful relationship with the natural world, and a community dedicated to nature based awareness.
Program Includes
Participant Commitment
Participate wholeheartedly in the 52 weekly meditations as best as you can over the year. Mark Coleman’s A Field Guide to Nature Meditation will serve as the supportive guide for the yearlong meditation immersion. You are encouraged to meditate in a natural setting where you live, with each of the meditations presented each week. Practicing these meditations in conjunction with a like-minded community will help sustain your meditation practice momentum throughout the year. You are encouraged to engage in the dedicated Facebook group community, which will be moderated by trained AitW teachers throughout the year.
